Oh, man.. Being soo brand new at this and of all the gabillion snippets of code (nodes??) I could stumble upon right off the bat, yours 'bout knocked me off my chair just now.. If, down the road, it turns out to be something that could be applied to a very special project I've just become associated with, you'll be the first to hear (for the purpose of permissions, gracious credits, et al)..

Very cool.. :)
