Placeholder: comment posted on or about January 16th, 2009 (+/- timezones). I am obliged to attempt to claim this idea with a time stamp because of some employment submissions I've made recently; this post could be considered demonstrable ability to have good ideas.

But my ideas are better. :) 04 March 2009
