I know we're dropping this topic, but I wanted to chime in one last time and apologize for my original post causing some drama. I didn't mean it as a product pitch at all, but I can see how it might come across that way. I had just written something that I thought solved exactly the problem that was being discussed, and I was excited to make you aware of it in the hopes it would be helpful. I do choose to make a few things membership benefits of Club GreenSock as a way of giving back to those who support my efforts, but most of my stuff is out there for anyone to look at and use. Like JC said, I was just trying to give you an option, but looking back on it, I should have offered a more thorough explanation. My bad. I'll think twice before mentioning similar solutions next time.
