No problem, it's not like I'm in a rush or anything :)

I appreciate your willingness to help, and definitely let me know if there's
anything else I can do to help (or make your life easier with the patches!).

Yep, that's why I'd want to begin any work on that with a good set of unit
tests to support the refactoring. I'll probably spend some time looking at
the original Java code to see what I can figure out as well, but since I
know parts of it are based (or depend, I'm not sure) on MINA, I guess things
are bound to be different. Which brings me to the question of whether basing
the .NET client buffering on how the original Java code in the first place
might indeed be the best option. 

That's why I wanted to get some info about the original buffer code design
so that I could understand it better!
