Its funny you should say that, seeing as dynamic creation of tmds is
something Im working on. Ive just put up a post on freetalk about it,
so if you can help me with it, Id be very grateful. At the time of
writing it was something I did fairly quickly because Id always wanted
to do it. Plus the results would be slightly different with a TMD,
maybe harder to position perfectly (not sure about this) and um, im
not advanced enough to edit tmds right now :)
