I’ll try to knock out #2 and #5 now:
2 - Generally speaking, no. We should not. Absent a compelling reason. And I don’t think “well, we get okey-doked by Brownell” is a compelling reason. Which leads us to…
5 - Absolutely not. I hope we can all agree that getting okey-doked by Brad Brownell is bad. But since it’s me saying it, I suppose someone is going to disagree, and say that we should get okey-doked by him.
