EXCELLENT post M:)Main difference between LLEG and the game allegory, IMO is that the real LONGS here haven't even considered leaving early! I too remember this blog post and frequently refer back to re-read.
It has been awhile since I did though and I thank you for bringing it up again. As the saying goes "Thanks, I needed that!"
