That's true. I just seem to always hit the weird corner cases and end up 
screwing around the entire afternoon looking for something that should 
have been obvious from the beginning. Usually in retrospect, it WAS 
obvious, but not to me.

I'm sure it's not your company's fault and I didn't mean to imply that. 
If I did, I apologize.

Thanks for the updates. I look forward to using them.
