And if you simply must have his ruling versus trusting anyone else, I'm certain you can send it to him. I would not expect a reply in the timeframe you seem to prefer, however. My guess is, Dr. Bob asked you to send it to someone else first because he knows he really does not have the time to get to it soon. Also, he supports the use of civility buddies for just this kind of thing.

I'm certain that if you were to send it to him for review, you would not get in any kind of trouble for sending it or face any administrative action, unless there is some agreement in place between you and Dr. Bob of which I am unaware. I took his post asking you to send it to someone else first as his preference and as advice, not as some new requirement just for you.

In the post above by deputy/member gardenergirl, she writes,[...you can send it to (Dr. Hsiung)..he has no way of knowing if you sent it to someone else beforehand or not...].
I ask,
A. Could not Dr. Hsiung ask me after I send it to him as to if and what person I sent the post to before I sent it to him?
B. If he did, in your opinion, is deputy/member gg's statement to me here, in >any< way whatsoever, a suggestion to me to deceive Dr.Hsiung? If you take the position that it is not, could you post in this thread why you say that it is not?
Then the deputy/member writes,[..I am certain you can send it to him...] I ask,
C. By what authority is seen from the deputy/member to make that >certain<?
Then the deputy/ member writes,[...my guess is...
D I ask, why guess?
