Man, I just WISH I could claim 'ownership' of that idea. In truth, it came 
from another member of the reflector... (sure wish I could now recall who 
it was, because HE's the one who deserves the credit). I just happened to 
be to one who wrote up the design and included the pics.

Regardless, I'm tickled that you found it useful.
