Just want to say I appreciate the effort that you put into this. I know HN sometimes doesn't vote up the big posts but if they're well researched and follow a thought through to a conclusion, I think they're a valuable addition to the discussion. cheers

Thanks, that means a lot. I cringe after posting this stuff, caught somewhere between ego and soul. But I agree with you that having a written record of our experience is important.

And I realized after sleeping on it that it's not good form to pontificate when someone passes. For that I am sorry. For what it's worth, I thought highly of Greenspan for his tendency to resist outside pressure, and wish that we had more adults in the room today.
