Hey Eric,

I've noticed a trend on this series. It seems like every time there's
some forward progress on a fix, you pop up, and ask a question. Someone
answers the question. Then, a couple of months later, you seem to pop up
again and ask another form of the same question. It kinda seems to me
like you may not be thoroughly reading the answers from the previous
round of discussion. Or, maybe you're like me and have a hard time
recalling any discussions more than a week ago. ;)

Either way, I hope you're finally convinced that the hardware design
here is reasonable.

If not, I'd really like to continue the conversation now when this is
all fresh in our heads instead of having to poke at cold brain cells in
another month.

Any more questions, or can we finally put this issue to bed?
