Updates are always appreciated. For posterity, though, starting a new
thread for the update is counterproductive.

It's not on a new thread. Just a new subject (within the thread) so that
people who track newsgroups by posting tree see that I've come to a
conclusion within the thread (and not just asking another question - and
thus not reading). Sorry if your news reader or your choice of browsing
preferences precludes you from seeing that.
