It is exciting that there is so much discussion over this topic! It seems as discussions become this large they can sometimes become quite cumbersome with all of the wandering off topic and the deviations from the OP's original question(s).
For this reason, we have closed this discussion, but would urge members to start up new discussions on the various topics of interest (to keep things more streamlined).
Thanks to all the members who have participated and made this such a dynamic discussion--please keep up the diverse community perspectives!
