I feel as if I didn't take the simple mental step and solve this myself, so I will probably cut off a toe later tonight... but then it's been head-chopping chaos at work lately, and my department has been reduced to its size from 4 years ago as of this week. Yarg. Anyway.. done venting a little.. thanks a ton =)
