My pleasure. Informing smart people is loads of fun in comparison to actually trying to teach people of really varied ability.
And yar, the misc.fitness.weights people are right. Again, the shtick is to have amino acids hitting the bloodstream right when the "m4k3 MuscL3z F4Zt!!!" hormones are peaked, which is immediately after exercise, and continuing for an hour or two. Hence scoffing a protein shake and an egg or two immediately post, and making sure that one is reasonably loaded with glycogen well beforehand (so that you don't burn as much protein during the actual exercise part).
