FLY3, you might want to read up on the subject:

A DC9 was lost following too closely to a DC10 about 42 years ago. You might want to read up on it.
Flying a dot high is no sin, in fact in some situations it is the thing to do (assuming wx above mins)
I am really shocked that you seem to be taking wake turbulence so haphazardly . Part of the triggering event to an airbus crash near JFK was a wake turbulence encounter on climbout.
Are you guys pilots? Aterpster, I thought you flew for TWA. Certainly you avoided wake? I just have to ask. Ever get cleared for a visual approach? Do you know who has responsibility for wake avoidance during a visual approach?
Landing long? Why not? Certainly remain inside the touchdown zone. You do realize what the touchdown zone is, and I'm not talking about football.
FLY3, it amazes me what you said, really. And since the FAA suggests what I said, I must assume you are not a pilot. Read that URL it even says to fly on or above the glideslope. How you couldn't have heard about this amazes me! It gets even more complex if a slight tailwind or crosswind on parallel runways is present.
