It's great Geoff! The one minor issue I noticed is, after a drag/drop action, the field doesn't appear to be put back into a state of being able to drag a new line. Doing so seems to enable one or multiple line selections, but no drag. I have to click a second time to start a drag action. But otherwise seems to work as expected.
No "take down" necessary. If anything, I would ask if I could add a copy to my site, so folks have more places to find it.
