I just love it when someone has nothing helpful to contribute to an issue,
but decides to be the Thought Police for everyone else.

This is a custom web application we're talking about here. No cut and paste.
No open source freeware. No WebBots. You just have to write it for yourself.
No shortcuts. And THAT is what I told the original poster.

Don't kill the messenger. I didn't create the truth. I'm only reporting it.
