I agree it will be need to be diligently covered, and I will volunteer to
make a greater presence there for the time being, if need be.  I also say
that there shouldn't be any dilly dallying, it's either a service, or it's
not.  And if it looks like a duck...

Again, either way, it's a rock and hard place.  At least with this option (a
services forum) we can say we tried.  If it fails miserably, proves to be
too much, then we can ax all threads, and say we gave it a shot.
