One last tip from my teacher Phil Beck: "Make the edge, break the edge, then restate the edge."

And a PS from Richard Schmid: "Treat an edge like a story -stretch the truth as far as you'd like without telling a lie."

OK. Chris, I don't recall hearing you give this SAGE ADVOCE in class, (AND I do listen!!!) so I'll remember without having to pay you tuition. HAH! Cool! Not a lot of free treasures out there.

Love the information!!! Oh, boy, your SAS Students are really going to miss you.
