Not a reply to TT, but I just saw your nick and thought I'd respond. We both commented on a thread recently, and your response was really insightful and just a pleasure to read; I didn't take the opportunity to respond there (locked). You should, like, write a blog, man. I infrequently wish HN had a "follow" feature, but this one of those times. Peace.
