Thanks. I remembered reading that thread and have been searching for it for the past couple of weeks. None of the keywords that I used in my searches turned it up.

I've now edited the title of that thread for clarity; hopefully, it will be easier to locate it in the future. I've also edited the link in your post to reflect the updated URL.
