"Knew where I stood in 90 seconds. That's all I needed." — reader, Cork
Knowing where you stand.
"I read your piece on the two-year rule on a Sunday night and ran the check in the morning. I knew by lunch I was still inside the window. That's all I wanted."
"I wasn't sure if slipping in a supermarket counted. The check said it did, in plain English, with no pressure. I went on with my day knowing where I stood."
"Honestly, I expected a sales pitch. I got a straight answer and a one-line explainer about what date the clock starts on. That was it."
