Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is honestly unbelievable Michael, I am so
grateful for your very generous help. I'm going over the proof skeleton now,
about to start working on the second proof assertion that you've given me a
very good starting point for. I'll be sure to let you know once I have
something... or if I have a significant problem.
