Beautiful, Cooky. Personally, I know I can trust your judgement as sound. I am very happy with the limited outcome of the meeting simply on the context that Baines showed up. Knowing Baines was coming and allowing him to do his "thing", get him and his article overwith first, then we move forward.
Absolutely a brilliant outcome whether planned or serendipitous (I love that word!).
