    If you don't mind waiting a few months, I can pick this one up.

    I'd prefer to get a few of these done in the next month or two.

    'k. The earliest I could get started is after PASS. Too much happening before that.

    I have a routine I use regularly based on the DMVs to trace a blocking hierarchy which I'd be happy to share/explain.

    Take it, plamber. Give us a description of a blocking chain, show your code with an example that decodes a few blockers to find the root.

    Submitted - fingers crossed my first attempt at a public piece of writing passes muster.
