C'mon, guys, enough already--the word got out, jon was right in that I
should have spent a bit more time researching it before sending the word out
so as to have more concrete information, and continued discussion on this
topic just encourages more noise. My ego certainly isn't crushed by being
corrected in public, esp. when the corrector is spot-on in his criticism.

The word's out, people know about it, 'nuff said on the issue. Let's not add
to the noise; if you have to comment on it, just email me directly and we'll
keep everybody else out of the loop.
