Greg, there's no need to make this personal. My motives for bringing this up again had nothing to do with you - and if you re-read the initial post on this thread you'll see I credited Ryan as being the source of the general build method. So instead of making your arguments attempts to discredit me, why not try being objective and evaluate it solely on a technical basis? Bryan, I think you brought up some good questions, but I only quickly scanned through your post. I've been super busy with work these past few days. I'll try to get you a real reply soon. Everyone else, please do review all of the links and posts that Greg provided. It was mostly reading those (and bits of the source) as well as the tests/experimentation that convinced me that the proposed method is solid.
