It does. I wish you could be there on Thuesday, because I understood too little to explain it. I can only post some links that someone sent after the meeting:

There were a few things mentioned that I checked into:

Scott, David, is this the stuff you were talking about? It has the esoteric 'j832' domain... similar to the 'aj29' domain that was suspected...

Also, in the vein of MGrammar, I found this musing: http://work.j832.com/2008/11/20-questionsthoughts-around-mgrammar.html

Again, very interesting meeting. Thanks to all who attended.

And this is from David Barnhill, who gave the presentation

I’ve posted the source code that I demonstrated at the meeting to here: http://blog.lab49.com/archives/2711
