I know White can connect from underneath. It's a little difficult for me to explain why I want to play this move; the best way I can say it is that the move 'weakens the connection'. There is also the small side benefit of getting him to force me to capture Q1 (e.g, in the endgame scenario where he gets S6 and T5, I can now just block.)

What do you think is a better response to your move? Is around the marked areas (to my kyu-ish brain, those were my first thoughts) or a tenuki?
i was looking at this...but i think tenuki was the best answer to my probe. since he answered it i dont think he will tenuki. i have no idea how he will play..

I'm bed-ridden with a god awful flu, but I just want to get this move out of the way. I'll explain my move and go into my previous move more when I feel better.

I would ignore . It does not threaten anything big, as far as I can see; it is just endgame. The two black stones are not important at all.
I do not know what Araban had in mind on the top, but perhaps would be a continuation. 'a' or 'b' look nice, too.

Araban is pretty relaxed although the situation seems desperate. Also he speaks about a previous post, but no one-way-street is mentioned there ...
IS HE POSTING IN FEVER?

I think he means he's still not feeling well enough to elaborate.
