&gt; [Begging the question briefly of whether I've committed some sort of
&gt; mud-dev group faux pas by culling out only one subtopic from this

Nope.  Its a long standing tradition on the list.  I'll commonly use a 
variation on this to encourage thread splits or culls by making
multiple replies to the same post, each one expanding on a different
point in the original post.
