Martin,

Thank you for describing your "experiment".  That goes a long way towards
understanding what's going on, for me.  You didn't happen to look under a
high powered scope to see what caused the difference?  Can you send me the
file, and I'll try the same thing.  I have a 90x scope that I can get a good
look at what's going on with.

I'd love to get an "explanation" for this from Jon ;-)

Regards,

Austin
