Indeed it is pretty cool, nice that it has fulfilled its purpose and 
even "reproduced".

Well, I'd love to, and have tried to, but it turns out I can't sign

I thank you!

And I had assumed the timer would have to be stored and canceled at

when the exit function timer ran.  I see you handled all that.  Looks 
good to me.

But if you push me to you it, you run the risk of getting yet other 
"small suggestions".

Thanks again!
