Thanks for taking the time, here.

It's useful feedback... not only as a data point, but also confirming that when I really do want help or advice, I'll likely get better and more diverse replies by asking indirectly through someone else (as in this case) rather than by asking directly.

Doing so indirectly won't change opinions regarding my using those results, granted, since respondents wouldn't know that I'm the one asking. But it would still help me out, at times, which is what I'm seeking.
