Thanks for all the response.... most of which came back private. I was hoping to spark some thought on something that could be happening to some degree. Several people mentioned they had witnessed similar things, amongst judges themselves, reps, etc., while some judges responded and said they had never experienced anything during their provisional. Who knows. It seems like it certainly isn't the norm, so thats a relief. Thanks!
