“While searching for something, I stumbled upon something else” is not such a bad thing, as it happens to me often.  This time, it is closely related, but still different enough to warrant its own searches for more.  Without going through what the original search was for, let’s get right down to business.  I think this should have been more obvious to me originally, and although I did have some ideas this might be happening, the evidence seems to indicate it is a far bigger thing than I imagined to begin with.
