Wow, thanks Aesop. My new sub and I have been 'flying by the seat of our pants' for the past 6 weeks, and I am pleasantly suprised to find that, overall, our progression has been almost 'textbook' with your guide. You have pointed out some things that i wasn't aware of, and hopefully I can proceed without stepping into those pitfalls and dragging my lovely sub down with me, lol. I look forward to your additional thoughts, and thanks again.
