While at the end of it all you may not fully agree with my proof, much
I as have never seen a proof asserting they were equal that I was able
to consider valid, I'm sure you will agree that the
ideas I present are not a simply rehashing of basic objections of
others before me.

You have no idea what you're talking about!
For those who now what it means, o.999... = 1 is a
trivial fsct and easy to prove!
0.999... is NOT a real number. It is a symbol that represents an
infinite series. An infinite series, by definition, is a sequence.
The statement 0.999... = 1 says that the sequence represented
by the symbol on the left CONVERGES TO the number represented by
the symbol (numeral) "1".
Take a course in calculus and learn about sequences and convergence.
