I know what you meant, but I wanted to make sure others did as well.

Reread the sentence: should not be participating in formal recruitment while interviewingx with Delta Gamma...operative word being "while" - meaning simultaneously, at the same time. Before or after is OK....Not while.

Sorry for trying to be helpful. I just didn't want a confused PNM to think that they should withdraw NOW if they wanted any chance at DG (like it was an either/or scenario). The original question was about withdrawal, and my only clarification was "hey, go through the process and if you're not finding your home after that process, then interview with DG and give it a shot".

I should have stayed a lurker...

I didn't intend to come across as harsh...just that I did say "while" and I generally feel that people should be able to understand what that means. I say what I mean and mean what I say. (as a child, my father always got onto me for trying to back track on what I meant by telling me that he only knew what I said, not what I meant to say - so I do try to be crystal clear with what I say).

Got it...even though most of the post above sounds like word vomit to me...

I just was trying to be really clear for those mamas and PNM's who are nervous/freaking out/unsure etc... They might see what you read and think "oh I need to drop out right now or I'll have no chance at DG." Since it's such a delicate process and tensions are high on BOTH sides, I want to make sure everyone's clear and calm. And I just hate being snarked at for trying to be nice and helpful.
