A sample size of one makes for poor statistical analysis.

It's my intent to have it answered before the debate. There are also two other alternatives: 1) You can break your flurry of questions down into a set of mails, each centered around a given topic (admittedly, it's a bit late for that); or 2) We could use a metric for candidate assessment that doesn't include being able to rise to arbitrary challenges leveled by arbitrary developers; this isn't a weight-lifting contest. Or if it is, I challenge my fellow candidates to prove that P = NP, or formulate a comprehensive and testable theory of quantum gravitation, and we can all acknowledge our inadequacy. :) Nevertheless it's still my intent to reply. I'm sorry if the response is not as rapid as you'd like; I've had to prioritize several things more highly than your message. I hope you'll understand if I don't regard getting involved in very long email discussions as the primary function of a Project Leader, though it may be required in furtherance of some end more directly related to his or her duties. -- G.
