I don't follow, at no point have I ever interpreted someone saying "I'll RM" as "stand back - I have the baton and nobody is allowed to do anything until I say so". All it means is "I'll RM", nothing more. If someone doesn't RM when they said they would, it is probably because something came up, or perhaps a security issue appeared and they hope that it be resolved, or any of a number of reasons. Nothing stops someone else stepping up to say "mind if I take over? I want to see this out the door". Regards, Graham --
