Bear Bibeault,
Please don't post if you don't know the answer to the question being asked. Your unsolicited design claim makes this
thread useless. Bob's question is valid not to mention the fact that his approach is simpler and will require less maintenance in the future. In a small system this will work just fine. I suppose it would be appropriate for you to offer design advice as a footnote but only after you have answered the question correctly.
Thanks,
Dan
