Good good :D

Thanks for the clear data plane / control plane explanation, that's a good way to summarise the distinction. May I link to it from the article?

Thanks! Sure, go ahead!

Hi, I'm the author. Uh hi w00t how why what's it doing here?! :D

I promise to make it better and actually finish it now! Check back in a day or two I guess? Also I should post the code I promised. Hello from the ADHD squirrel!

Also thanks a ton for your suggestions, I really appreciate them!

Love the URL!
