Ok, Alfred (wonder how many of the younger generation remember who Alfred E. Neuman is, and how he originated?) -

Yes, I wondered about this part also - not so much remembered, but ever knew this guy. I can also remember that he is the one who started the world-wide protest "Down with Pay Toilets". You think anyone in that younger generation knew you use to have to pay to .....

I have seen duck down, but never chicken down.

I am taking this part about the type of feathers as a known industry fact, and that a leaky bag may be of a lesser quality to some degree, as manufacturers could avoid a lot of the excessive leakage with proper materials/binding etc.

How about the leakage contributing to effectiveness? Will this leakage over years lessen the "real" rating? Obviously, this only affects bags that are kept a very long time, but if I like something, I use it forever.

Can you tell I have a lot of engineering in me?

Just plain ole Steve this time.
