I just got annoyed that I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out what was wrong, only to see that it was because I hadn't added this attribute to my code :) I've had the same issue in the past, but forgot about it. Hopefully by noting it, I'll actually be able to retain this in memory a bit. Thanks for reading. Hey Jason,
