LT, I don't get why T2 and MC want you to think about why you wouldn't want them to talk, as if that indicates a problem of some kind. I see it as a way to keep things less complicated, especially since you worry so much. It adds another layer of wondering if so and so is talking to so and so and what does each one say, and so on. They should each feel confident enough in their own work, and confident in you, that you can take what works for you from each of them.
