I'm thrilled that my rather lengthy posts are seen as valuable!

Wow...that's pretty high praise.  Thanks, Ted.  I came into this project with a bit of a 
"vision"....it's just taken me a while to refine it (with some excellent input from 
everyone here) and to get it "documented" to a point where someone else can start 
to understand it.

Awesome.....I guess I'm not crazy after all! <grins>

Which is exactly why I have been taking the time to try to explain some of the 
concepts and my thinking in such depth.  You've probably noticed that some of the 
posts are being edited and incorporated in the Architecture document too...that way 
they will be easily found by others that need to understand the architecture in the 
future, so the effort on email does pay off.

And I appreciate the input everyone has been providing since it's helping to evolve 
the initial vision to something that might actually fly.

Glad you have been gaining some value from the posts.  Makes the sore typing 
fingers worth the effort and it's good to know that.

Thanks for the kudos Ted.  Much appreciated.

Mind you, I just got a wireless card for my laptop, so I'm not typing this as I sit in front 
of the roaring fireplace (it's going down to -29C tonight here...brrrr!) in the living room 
instead of in my office.  Very nice I must say....
