I don’t share the opinion of “we’re doomed” re p5 conference but playing our B12 hand the way we did was costly(not intended to respark “we did/didn’t bungle B12 debate, opinions are likely set at this point.”

If you have the rep of “difficult to deal with” real or not, simply stepping on that fart sound area of wood floor in negotiating room & the other party says “see, we knew it, next they’ll be buttercupping us, this just won’t work.” I know, spilt milk.
