Thread Name: BS: What would you attempt........
Subject: RE: BS: What would you attempt........
Here's a little trick that WORKS.
Example: I ran into exactly the same roadblock, and never got past it.
Better: I ran into exactly the same roadblock, and I haven't gotten past it yet.
Even Better: I ran into exactly the same roadblock, and I'm still working my way past it.
Eventually: I ran into exactly the same roadblock, and I got past it.
It takes longer if you don't start. Also note, none of these statements contain the word BUT.
