If you have comments that don't seem to fit anywhere else, post them here and I will try to answer.

RealNamesPlease? I'd cut Dave some slack for using a monicker - a) it contains his first name, b) his real name is here, and c) his real name is so thoroughly unremarkable that there could be a NameCollision? on his real name.
