Take #2:
I havent had the chance to read all the replies yet but wanted to say thank you to those whom have taken the time to do so.
I did see comment that its a lot to reply to. I agree wholeheartedly. I was intentionally trying to spur a good discussion and share of knowledge. Lets take it one step at a time and progress. I really think this could be a great thread.
So for everyone who has read and has/will offer comment, thank you.
