"Dirty debugging" I like that. I'm going to use that from now on. I have 
tried that method in the past while debugging other issues. I try not to 
use it too much, since I don't want these "dirty debugging" messages 
being seen by users (I don't have a test environment, so I have to test 
debug in production), but it looks like I may have to do that.
