Actually, building the 2008 mechanism isn't the problem, the problem is when you get that nasty urge to "improve" that mechanism-- a trap my team and many others fell into.

Other than that, I should probably have mentioned in my post that oft repeated advice that you can have the best idea, but if you can't execute you're worse off than someone who executed a "poorer" idea. I like Schreiber's description: simple, effective, easy to use (and achievable!).
