I think we are going in circles. It's been explained to the "T"
Not much more to it..

Well, if that's the way everyone feels, so be it; let it rest. I still don't know whether or not it's okay to leave these exhausted carbon cartridges in the filter indefinitely without some kind of eventual danger coming to the water column...and if I could just rinse and dunk them in removed tank water during water changes (as I do with the AquaClear sponge media) until they seem like they are physically and quite literally falling apart...
At any rate, thank you all for your attempts to assist; as always, they have been greatly appreciated.

My feedback is that he's back pedaling. Did you indicate in a subsequent post that you had also gone to another forum, asked the question, provided the link, and people called BS?
I hate to be in a position of criticizing another forum, but seriously, that one turned me off immediately with its "our way or the highway" tone.
What do you make of this statement, Jeta, specifically the last portion which I have bolded?
Well I just have to say this would be the same thing as having gravel in the bottom of the tank that is to thick.... because you have carbon normally in a bag in a filter just sitting there collecting stuff.... now do most people rinse it off every water change no. So I can see why this would cause problems and leach bad bb's back into the tank...
