I had the third most viewed CR4 thread of 2011. The ranking thread is http://cr4.globalspec.com/blogentry/18716/Most-Popular-CR4-Threads-of-2011.

(Yes, I know that some of the hits were by people with something else on their mind.)

By the way, my nephew ended up doing a 100% coverage coat with high quality thinset and the walls look great.
