Oh, FWIW, the script may need a bit more tweaking since I see these lines....

And I'm certain that is the same person.

Not to discourage you...but as you said "It's not really anything that will

rather see something that adds value to the list and how it operates.  It is 
just MHO that these stats can be misused.

Enjoy....
