I can go look at the original post - and I have - but while it 
may strictly speaking contain all the information I need, the 
amount of time and brain power it would take for me to comprehend 
the consequences is pretty large. I assume you have done a lot of 
that work already and could save everyone a lot of time by 
putting together a quick document that covers some of that, with 
good examples. I'm not going to read {1,2,3}00 messages full of 
irritated bidirectional miscommunication to try and understand 
this unless I really have to, and I assume others feel similarly.
