All,
It looks like I will be spending a few days with dodgey connectivity, and so if it seems like I fell off the face of the earth, I probably did. But who knows? It might be better than I have heard, and up I will pop in your RSS feed like one of those tines-up rakes in the yard you step on from time to time.
As it turns out, Thabiti and I are both traveling, but we have been in communication, and we hope to have a conclusion to our discussion posted in a week or thereabouts.
