Great, I'm glad you like it! I plan to do more work on this on some of the plane trips I have coming up, and more when I'm back in Boston in early January. There are a couple of cosmetic nits with the display when there are limited or collapsed threads, but they are really just cosmetic, and very minor, so I'll wait to deal with them until I get back. -Daniel -- Daniel E.
