More light, less heat
With the highly informative posting of one of the Downs' most repected legal minds (thank you, SPM), I am calling a time-out. This conversation is beginning to look like a time-lapse photograph of a dog chasing its tail. The levels of friction-generated heat are beginning to be greater than the light being shone upon the subject.
I am, for a short period, closing this thread in hopes that all involved will go back and re-read (and hopefully digest and reconsider) all the relevant information posted here. When the thread re-opens (in a relatively short but intentionally vague number of days), let us see if cooler heads and better information will prevail.
