Ah, sorry, the threads I could find were incomplete, so I wasn't able to find those comments that were made to Will's 2010 submission. In some of the cleanups I did I was very confused about "target" vs "table", and tried to fix that. Regardless, I'm open to fixing whatever is needed. :)
Thanks for looking at this again!
