Here we derive the corresponding expressions in the original scattering s channel, allowing for nonzero meson spin and nontrivial SU(3) flavor quantum numbers, and provide explicit examples of the crossing relevant for pi N --> rho N and K N scattering.Addition of a physical example, minor changes to clarify certain issues and add one reference. 18 pages, no figuresHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
