Well written and the key issues are handled in a comprehensive way. You’ve also performed a service by posting it. Well done, Jon.

Thanks Dave!
If I called it a labor of love, I’d have to put scare/sarcasm quotes around “love”, but someone needed to do it….
It’s important for people to remember though that the more comments they get supporting a given position, the more likely they’ll take it seriously. So I hope people are seeing my comments as fodder for their comments, not as a “great, Jon took care of things, now we don’t need to do anything.” 🙂

I did in fact also send in my own comments that were not as comprehensive as yours but in what they said they backed you up; hope everyone else here did the same thing.
Thanks Dave!
Glad you also had a chance to comment, and yeah, I hope they got at least a couple dozen good comments from industry.
