Wow nice thinking! You have given me another project I do not have time for, but I am grateful to be able to see things like this. As far as thinking outside the box I have always figured sometimes its best to throw the box away. meaning get an outside view of the issue possibly by someone who is not necessarily familiar with the project. This seems to get me thinking about other ways to consider a problem. A few times I've pulled off projects that actually worked out by not knowing it can not be done that way (Ignorance is bliss) 
So to those who post these simple , to them at least projects my hat is off to you!!
