      I could to Marty but its more fun not to.
      To fix the problem one should not make more assumptions than the minimum needed.

        ........would'nt expect more than 6K.....BTDT with the 404 Flop, a couple times. 3K into it, handleing kinda' started going array with some 'spirited' corner carving. Hope it works better for you. Be safe!
