While everybody else was typing, I penned a brief description, for Eric...and beyond. It took a little time, as Don has pointed out, to craft the piece, try not to forget obvious details, etc. to make it clear and accessible. I was also thinking about comparing bluing loss with halos, but decided to keep it simple rather than explain halos, too, particularly since we explored that topic thoroughly not too long ago.

Although it might be possible to "go to the well once too often," my impression is that we will do the best we can in most cases, even if it only happens to be to suggest reading the FAQ or running a search. That's part of what makes this forum the best.
