Using the dlm correctly is non-trivial and should be reviewed.
If the dlm is misused, some part of that may fall in my lap, if
only so far as having to debug problems to distinguish between dlm
bugs or md-cluster bugs.  This has been learned the hard way.

I have yet to find time to look up the previous review discussion.
I will be more than happy if I find the dlm usage has already been
thoroughly reviewed.

You're probably misreading "concerned".

The initial responses to my inquiry were severely lacking in any
substance, even dismissive, which raised "concerned" to "troubled".
