Sorry, I didn't want to imply you're wrong. I apologize if it came over this way. I understand you understand this code very well. I realize the one above came out a bit flamey, but it wasn't really intended like this.
The disagreement right now seems to be more how the code is structured. Typically there's no clear "right" or "wrong" with these things anyways.
I'll take a look at your suggestion this evening and see how it comes out.

I wanted to thank you for your great reviewing work, even if I didn't agree with everything :) But I think the disagreement were quite small and only relatively unimportant things.
