here's what I think is going on--we're about to shell out a healthy amount of dough, risk a fair amount of cred around here, and we finally have a wealth of options. So naturally the dark sides of our brains are coming up with all kinds of reqsons why this may be a mistake! Just a healthy dose of pullthhetriggeritis.
