Thanks for the attempt at constructive criticism. I disagree with it, however -- I think "this great progress report" (thanks!) couldn't have been "coughed up" without first learning the extent to which some of the interrogators here were misunderstanding the FAQ.

As you may have noticed, you're dealing with querulous geeks who don't know how not to split hairs down to the Planck limit. "Assume good faith" applies here, in its transformation as "never assume malice when crippling social ineptitude will suffice."
