@dantheman I have a detailed response for you that I hope you and the rest of the community will read and chew over. After posting it here I realize it was way too long for a comment so I moved it over to my blog.

I would appreciate you giving it some thought because I genuinely believe these changes you are about to implement are not going to produce the results you hope they will.
This is the best advice I have to offer.

Please realize that I took over 5 hours to compose it, there is a lot of thought put into it because complex problems require deep thought, insight and consideration of all angles.
Thank you.
