Well, I don't in particular. However, it is also the case that:

- every single solution posted in this thread has been broken in its initial 
form, save for that which I had devised even before Eli posted
- I have to yet to see one working solution that provides any tangible 
advantage over mine
- I am not soliciting solutions in any case; they have been nothing but a 
distraction
- I am tired of being told things that I already know and am frankly now tired 
of this entire thread; nothing is going to come of it
