Hi David.
ummm nope, not boring--gotta go with elemenoP on this one. I believe you are earning quite the fan-following here.
That is just a sad story and makes this all the more interesting to follow. And to be honest, so many various options presented is just amazing me--everyone has a different angle and are working together focusing on the problems at hand. It's like you gave the forum a giant puzzle to solve. It's almost better than sudoku.
The solutions are fascinating and really quite eye-opening to the options available. I, for one, am learning heaps! (Plus distributing karma to the problemsolvers is fun.)
