A question, and a comment.
1. Is the "thank you" post youre referring to, correlate w/the thank you hack by Abe?

2. Brilliant hack. I remember the last one I tried to implement. It worked fine, except it compromised the "view threads, but not thread comments" for usergroup permissions. This one seems flawless. Kudos
