Thanks, Pam.

Well, of course, never in a million years would I have said 'aha! do 
you see what you are doing!?!' :)

But she is not 'tailoring' the info....she is utterly ignoring it!

Most of her friends will not spend the hours I spent with her, and 
will only have her enthusiastic verbal endorsement of the 'method' 
that she is not following.  They will see her little daughter doing 
so well, and think they really *have* to get that wonderful book too
