Good post Josh,
I agree with most of your sentiments, but I will give Lance, Perry, and Andy the benefit of the doubt for now. What I would like to see is some charts detailing usage compared to available bandwidth and then maybe a graph comparing the used bandwidth of the old site with the OT in place. Bandwidth is a pretty simple thing to measure and track, so I have no doubt that the likes of Perry and Lance will have no trouble providing the info if they choose to do so.
I suppose we will just wait and see.
