I agree, I think that's true. And you're saying that people need to start doing that before thinking about a Grand Vision becomes relevant. > My apologies if my tone was offensive.

That's good advice; advice that I'm going to take. No promises on time scales, my own itches are going to start getting scratched and submitted.
