I appreciate your input, but I dont believe that this approach is ludicrous. It is merely one way to solve the problem. If you would like to contribute by sending in another approach, please do so. I'd love to offer it as a supplement to the article. As a programmer you should realize that there are many ways to solve the same problem, and some ways are better than other. But never is a solution ludicrous or stupid. This discussion area is a forum for developers to discuss problems and solutions in a friendly, non-threatening environment. Please consider this the next time you offer you opinions. Thank you.
