Thank you for the detailed response.

I will continue on with your suggestions, though I would still assert  
that this method, while it is a good short term solution for  
addressing the situation, I feel a more structured system would be  
better.  In much the same way that the Drupal code is handled, I see  
a similar system as being more effective long term.
