you confused me a little, but frankly I got the gist of your point... The bottom line is your points are informative and should be listened to by those that want to know how their changes will be received.  You have always been on the lookout for the little guys, and honestly its the little guys that add up when they want to see growth.

And glad your wife is keeping you in the loop, that's great... its always good to have another pair of eyes! :)
