Considering the premise of his first post...
then This post doesn't make any sense...
Complicated?
You mention a circuit, then have to re-post with a tiny version of the circuit we can even see...
And when I, or anyone else sees this - I answered the question from my own experiences...
We trying to answer your question with our own input...
Pretty much everyone that has responded has applied their knowledge - and now you want to call all these "suggestions" overcomplicated?
Then re-state your question - for any circuit being described here, - you should ask more of an open question about the "Purposeful application" of the circuit - not just what it does...the question IMPLIES an answer as to HOW it WORKS - not it's function for what it does...
Once you get past that...
Then you can open up for even more fun answers from - say, a handicapped successful function completed horn onto a visual aid in waking up the Newscaster when he forgets to move his head to read the proper teleprompter onto - just ignore the thread and move on...
