Hidden Stickies - (Grease) Monkeying with Tip.it

Hey guys!
I recently read a post, http://forum.tip.it/topic/311258-hide-stickies/, requesting a way to hide stickies.
Since it seems we aren't going to get an official way to do this, I decided to write up a greasemonkey userscript for those people who are using FireFox or GoogleChrome.
This userscript will add an [x] next to each sticky which will let you hide it.
There is a counter above the stickies that tells you how many you have hidden on that page and gives you the option to display them.
If you want to unhide a sticky you need to click "[click to show]" above the list of stickies and then choose the "[+]" option for each individual sticky you want to unhide.
This userscript relies on the cookie named "hidden_stickies", so if you clean out your cookies often this script won't be much help.
If for some reason the script doesn't appear to be working properly, please disable it and let me know the issues you ran into.
If you use it, or have any questions, let me know. :)
