As both Jim and Joe have mentioned, many, many thanks for your impressive research and post for this MC.

Often, after reading a tour-de-force post like this one, it can feel very disingenuous to simply reply with a 'thanks very much for that', especially when one may not fully understand the content or fully appreciate the insights used in the research and solution.

However one thing I can fully appreciate is how much painstaking time and effort it took to create the clear and well-formatted post which indeed helps a great deal when trying to understand some of these non-casual topics. Carefully formatting the explanation and especially results goes a long way to explain some of the subtle aspects of the resulting numbers; I know you understand this well, as your posts always are a model of clarity in this regard.

So, don't take a lack of eager comments to mean your work is not appreciated; it often simply means we are too humbled to reply with meaningful comments.

I promise that in the future, should I see a post of yours that I feel is pointless and not contributing, I'll say so. But don't expect that soon.
