Thank you! I had seen afterwards that the author was active in the comments, but I notice the "thank you" comments sometimes, and it's rarely obvious that the author is active here. These comments have some weird signalling feel to it, as if the intended recipient isn't the person being thanked, but other people who are supposed to see that humble gratitude. People do strange things, or maybe I just imagine them to.

I don't mind the down votes, I have hidden their effect and all counters to make sure I don't get sad about down votes and don't let my ego get inflated by up votes. Had you not mentioned it, I wouldn't have known, but I'll try to not let it ruin my day ;)
