• Thanks, all, for the kind words. I figured a not-too hard yes/no question would make for a nice change of pace. (It being scheduled on a friday is not my doing, though).

    The next question in this series (which will be a tough one, I hope) is still being prepared, but I do have another (unrelated) question scheduled for next week - so brace yourselves! 😛
