I don't understand how what you've done by using BindEvent() and ReturnThis() achieves anything different than the abilities exposed by calling a custom added method to do the same. Or to reference the object itself using its parentage call. Or to create a generic object interface called "theObject" through which you can directly reference the object that is given by ReturnThis().

What am I missing? What is ReturnThis() doing that other methods won't do?
