Dear It's Scary,

"Getting "in their face" will lose the battle. Slow and gentle, but firm and uncompromising whilst seeming to compromise is the road to travel."

Absolutely - I agree completely.

Regards,
John

Everything is negotiable. Of course the only thing NON-NEGOTIABLE is whether everything is negotiable or not.

I am enjoying a life of genteel poverty in my bath-chair. I am followed everywhere Ig o by my disciples and followers, eager for the next word of wisdom to fall from my lips.
