  • I'd prefer to get a few of these done in the next month or two.

  • I have a routine I use regularly based on the DMVs to trace a blocking hierarchy which I'd be happy to share/explain.

  • Take it, plamber. Give us a description of a blocking chain, show your code with an example that decodes a few blockers to find the root.

  • Submitted - fingers crossed my first attempt at a public piece of writing passes muster.

  • no worries. We'll give you feedback and work through it.
