Figured as much, but it was interesting, anyway.

That's why lists/newsgroups are such a great resource.  There's always 
angles of a problem that even someone familiar with the topic is likely 
to either simply miss, or knows about but has little experience with.  
Get it to a wider sampling of people, and someone's likely to reveal such 
otherwise hidden angles in a reply.  Even professional support (if one 
could always buy it, not always possible) can't be as effective at this 
sort of thing, because they too are simply one person, so will by 
definition have a rather more limited viewpoint and range of experience, 
than the rather larger list/newsgroup is likely to have.
