So you didn't believe me and went searching for a second opinion?

geez....
no, somebody mentioned the videos for another reason and I was impressed to see that they use the same method you describe, which I used and found to work remarkably well. I thought it might be nice for others to see the video which illustrates your method.
No offense intended, of course.
