Fwd: RC: Re: passing up in VCs/A NEW WAY

[SandyDSA@aol.com]

We are personally relieved and pleased to see some RMs starting to STATE that 
no one has priority and enforcing it. The opportunity to allow someone ahead 
of you is always still there, but no one can exhibit their uncommon rudeness 
and butt in font of you with the blessing of these RMs. Thank you and my 
HORSE thanks you. s
