I understand. I got rejected from a course (or going to Zambia back in 77?) based on a very subjective termination by Reed Martin. I was in Livingson Manor at the time, and when it happened, a voice inside me said "go home", "go home". That may have been when the bonds to TMO started to weaken some.
