As a very minor side note, just so you know, it looks like there's a bug in the mailing list software. I went back to the original of my previous post, and the ">" character which appears at the beginning of the paragraph beginning "From what I can tell ..." was not in the message that I sent, but was added by the mailing list, making it look as if that paragraph might have been part of the quoted message to which I was replying, instead of what it actually was (part of my own reply).
