Finally a Win for the Good Guys!
Well... it's been a while getting here, but I honestly think that this morning was a break-through for my ticker plants. The maximum delay was considerably less than in the past (thanks to finding the silly second consumer thread) and even far better than I remembered from the other group's tests. It's a big day for the good guys, and it's been a long-time in coming.
To be sure, a lot of the problems I came across were because of the changes in the target market. But it took me quite a while to get all the details worked out. But Holy Cow! It's a great feeling.
