What a parasynthesis-in-the-behind that would be! Not to mention it is a great strategy in and of itself. It's hard to disagree with someone after you have, in essence, agreed with their current thoughts.

It reminds me of the old idiom, "You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar." I know when I confront people in a bad mood, I find i get better results when I acknowledge and empathize with their position before even asking anything. Thanks for sharing your similar experiences. Looking forward, Jonathan Flaks Hey Bob -
