The main purpose of this post is not to actually propose a solution; I do not think I have some golden idea here. And if I gave that impression, I really am sorry (not sarcastic). What this was meant to be was a learning opportunity, because I really couldn't see many things wrong with this avenue. So I posted it here to see what was wrong with it, and so far I've had a few people reply and give me decent reasons as to why it is wrong. I've quibbled with a few of them, but that'll probably be cleared up in time.

Though I guess my post was probably too confident in tone. I'll try to correct that in the future and make my intentions better known. I hope I've cleared up any misunderstandings, and thanks for taking the time to reply. I'll certainly check those recommendation out.
