To deliberately look elsewhere to mislead is an excellent tactic. Good point. Thanks.<br /><br />Michele, thanks for the comment. Sometimes a potential confrontation can be stopped by looking someone in the eyes. Once it's started, though, the unfocused approach can often give you a slight edge.Journeymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00146093025259375890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697069502806403520.post-42692630261115485032010-08-18T04:17:03.006-07:002010-08-18T04:17:03.006-07:00Excellent analysis.
