Thanks, this statement helped clarify for me - if you're thinking of consent here as generally irrelevant except at the end of the week (it may be relevant sooner if contract states/conditionals are involved, but that's not true here), so that the "internal state during the message" is irrelevant, my objections to the natural consent section are less. However, does that mean that any cfj (like this one) called before the end of the week should be judged irrelevant? -G.
