Toxic, wherever you wrote that before pasting it in, it converted all your apostrophes to question marks. It gave your post a very questionable feel. That's 41 hours of sleep deprivation talking, folks. Pity me, please.
My other thought is, wow. You put a lot of work into that, and honestly I didn't have the energy to read it all right now. I plan to come back after sleep and take a crack at it, but such huge posts coming on the heels of increasingly shorter and shorter responses can have one of two effects. One, it can calm the mood by grinding the tempo way down, or it can kill the thread entirely. I know which horse I'm betting on, but I'm going to read the whole thing and respond anyway. I owe you at least that much courtesy.
