I did the same... but part of that research was to ask fellow riders what they thought... no that a total stranger was going to change my opinion... but if the vast majority said "wrong move" then I'd have re thought my approach. but true... I wasn't in it for positive reinforcement... but just to honestly make sure I wasn't way off base.
