Hi Karen .. I have always been fascinated by questions like this one and
enjoyed reading Jason Johnson's answer.
Several years ago when I was at The Chapin School, we hired John Palfrey
from the Harvard's Berkman Center and we paid him as a consultant to help
educate us on several similar "sticky" issues.
If you read the notes at
http://www.summercore.com/wittenbergdoor/JPnotes.html
you may get a clear sense of how he thinks about these issues. His
intelligence and perspective were extremely helpful to me in achieving a
better understanding of all the gray areas.
Although I am no longer at Chapin and have lost touch with him, I feel
extremely confident in saying that items 1 and 4 on that Web page are
absolutely in your favor, Karen, and you should avoid the self-doubt of
"doesn't feel right" ... go with Jayme's proactive session and no need to
worry anymore!
Steve
