we were all hanging off the edges of our seats!

I seriously want to know why people hijack threads like this to tell us how they've solved the issue as they uniquely see it to their own unique liking in their own unique situation in their own unique way.

1) no one asked. why you would want to show & tell at this point in time and in this location just puzzles me ceaselessly.

2) relatively few people are going to view your solution as something they can even use, because of their own unique constraints.

3) you're making an assumption that people want to see these solutions unprompted, which is quite a leap, especially here. we mostly know how to solve these things for ourselves.

4) (and the only correct move you have made) you're definitely on a site with a lot of hatred for Microsoft, so you've got ears listening, I suppose.
