Hi Well I for one am not getting at all bored at seeing what you are doing. I find it very encouraging that somebody is sharing all the ins and outs of figuring out what’s going on. Far to often we simply get the end result and not much detail (I for one have been rightly criticized for that within the last day or two …). Keep up the information stream. Keeping the information on the list puts it into the archives so it can be dug up by everybody.
