Thanks, OTT. I had forgotten they had common origins.
As Dalek has observed on occasion, I often think about recovery as a process rather than an event. Not a lifelong process, of course, but not a clean line either. I did not realize that was one of the key distinctions between AVRT and SMART.
Hmmm. I'm a little old to be confused about my orientation, lol...
