I plan to live forever, of course, but barring that I'd settle for a couple thousand years. Even 500 would be pretty nice.

You're right, for the second part I should have said observer looking at how two objects move relative to eachother, that makes a much clearer case. That doesn't essentially affect what I said though.
You can't directly measure two objects move away from each other FTL.

Yes, you can; if the movement is due to the expansion or shrinkage of space between them. We said this and it's exactly what your link says.
The essential idea seems to be that the two galaxies seen by the observer are not in the same reference frame because the space between them is expanding at an accelerating rate. Because they are not in the same reference frame, there is no speed of light restriction. The two galaxies sit in their own reference frames and the space between them grows without moving either reference frame.

Yes, that's what we've said repeatedly??
The significance is that the frames of each galaxy are not moving, the space between them is expanding. There is a difference. Nothing is actually moving FTL.
