GC--you are not the first person to tell me that what I saw was typical. See my post answering Dutch's question. It gives more detail about what transpired between me and the CM. I did 1 other call after that with my coach and called it quits just about a week ago. Yes, they've tried every trick in the book already. My coach (a seminar leader "committed" to my eff
