Now I have one more question, and this is for Fred or Stan. Should any
physical directories named Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures,
Video, etc., remain on the actual /home mount?
My process was to mkdir on the new drive, delete the old directory in
/home/user and when I created the link the directory was visible in
the /home/user just writing to somewhere else.

As I thought. Now may I also assume that you use the chown command to
re-create the ownership and group-membership structure of each specific
user directory in the new drive? And also use chmod to re-create the
permissions structure? I'm familiar enough with chown and chmod. I've
used them often enough in my days as a volunteer developer on other
sites that use UNIX.
In any event, let me guess: whatever you create and set in the new
drive, no re-installation will ever alter. Thereafter you remove any
directories in /home/user (where /user/ is the name of a user account)
and re-establish the links, right?
I should have figured one thing: I do this for everything that I used to
copy over from one computer to the next when I would break in a new(er)
computer with (of necessity) a fresh (first!) installation of Fedora.
That included all the named directories, any other top-level directories
I created, and /home/user/.thunderbird in every account that used
Thunderbird regularly. (Same with Kmail, for any KDE user who uses the
"native" browser and e-mail client.)
