Boogie-nicely, I have read most of your posts over time and have found them to be well thought out etc....I am not saying that the 'next guy' is right, but there are several students of Bond who are rather dissatisfied with the service they have recived and are not prepared to post on here.
As you say attitude is paramount, but sometimes you can still be walked all over even with the right attitude.
Good luck with whatever direction you take.
