Rick,

This thread is indeed a great idea. I do have a suggestion that might work out though. Clearly, you have developed a very good sense of how big the chunks of theory should be and in what sequence they are best presented. Why don't you prepare a short outline for the entire thread and post the outline. That way the rest of us can make contributions that are within the framework of your experience. It would be really nice if we could construct a theory thread that had a proven logical progression instead of jumping randomly around in a sort of stream-of-collective-consciousness fashion.
