Thank you for sharing that. I was going to respond to her post later, I am groggy from cold meds and lack of coffee. You are using different language than I would have but I think I like yours better. :)

Of course, i would expect no less than the great Arnora to boot me in the ass on a misused word :)

hmmm, i think i need to have a chat with my pR department about all this overtime work they're putting in on my behalf ;-)

it sounds to me like you've got a pretty good idea of the principles of "collaborative solution" already, which puts you further ahead in the relationship-management skills than most people (myself included). but keep checking in with the partners on a regular basis, because both ideals and "can't abide by's" can and do evolve in time, sometimes on the long term basis, sometimes on a very short-term basis. if all of you trust each other to communicate those changes and work on further collaborative solutions, then you've already got a skill set the bulk of humanity will never consciously possess, or utilize fully.

that's a *way* cool thing to see, and i envy you that.

Whoa...

Ummm... yeah. Wow.

This is definitely something I'm going to have to refer back to on a semi-regular basis. I've added it to my "Memories" list so I can find it again.

Thank you SO much for taking the time, effort, and care to write such a well thought out and detailed post about the issues we four are facing.

It means a great deal to know that there are people out there willing to help, which I can clearly see you are.

Again... wow. And thank you.
