Hi, Yes, thanks for the help Brian! Sorry for the late reply.
I finally got around to getting my AutoDetectProductCrawler working. In response, Chris I hope you don't mind I've given some feedback about my experiences with the crawler on the wiki page that you created below. I hope thats okay. Please feel free to modify/add/revert as you wish.
