Okay, folks. A lot of comments have arrived in the time I've been offline. I'm scurrying today to finish household stuff before tomorrow's departure for Dick's; I'll try to get some responses ready before leaving, but that depends on how today goes. And once I get to CO, I can't guarantee any response until next week!

Regardless of when I respond, ALL comments from the blogposts and the discussion thread will be summarized for the .Net Overlords. My goal is to get that ready by mid- to late-September, and I'll get a PDF copy available to anyone netter who requests it.
