I'm having the same issue as Ken did on this post.And I did pretty much what Ken did except to different packages. Now, I'm stuck with unclean hooks. I've detailed my problem here and the attempts I've made so far. Any suggestion is appreciated.Note: If cross referencing is prohibited I'm willing to re-post them here although I'm not associated with the site I'm referencing to.
