OK, before this thread disappears over the horizon, what's the answer?
It could be you didn't want to spoil it for the old girl as she could well have set her sights on the new system and you didn't want to upset her.
It could also be that "preaching" to her could have ended up in your being reported to your superiors and receiving a reprimand, exposing you to potentially damaging recriminations (nod, nod, wink, wink!)
C'mon Spanner, what's the answer?!
OK, OK, Dansk! Some of us don't actually LIVE here, you know!
Well, it could have been for a million different reasons, of course, and I have to say that I am surprised, Dansk, that you didn't get a bit closer to guessing the answer, knowing my background, and all!
Anyway, just in case some of you are losing sleep over this, I didn't pursue the issue because she is a heavy smoker! In fact, she smokes like a chimney! That is the whole reason why I went to visit her: she has chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Thinking about this later, though, I'm in a predicament: do I encourage her to stop smoking, but then she will be more acceptable to the JW's? (I am presuming that she is studying with them). Or not, so that she stays out of the KH? Superimposed on that dilemma is the professional ethics issues . Mmmm...need to think about that one. Any ideas?

Oh, it wasn't than, Span! It was the fact that I didn't want anyone else to know! One can reveal a little too much about oneself here! Depends how one feels about the Borg or relatives knowing.
