Wow - This is one of the most complete and simple to understand explanations of powerdown that I have seen. As a minnow only 5 days old, I have miles to go before even thinking of a powerdown. However, a nagging thought remained in my mind, before reading this post, about issues with powerdowns. Thanks for this informative post.

May I make a request - May I make a request - When you have time, please do take a look at my blog where I tried my hand at writing - a chain of thoughts on solitude - inspired by my wildlife picture instead of just putting the picture. Thanks
