Or insert in our profile that we have "walked a mile in their shoes." Might help in future IRROPS situations....

Actually, joking aside, it would be interesting to see what the GAs see when they pull up your record. Did any of the dry-runners (not to be confused with mileage runners) have a chance to do this?
