Thanks Heliocon for the longest 'I told you so!' I've ever read
I'd just like to correct one thing - when you say "Everyone dismissed me, said I was not correct, said it would not work, or said it was a waste of time.", I'd just like to point out that I, in fact, didn't. (I know my limits

)
Incidentally - a bit of 'mad scientist' laughter effect after that paragraph would work really well.
