Re: fickle y-axis

Hi Jeff,

Shot off the last post a bit too fast before I got to digest the rest
of your post. Got it now. Just shows how sometimes preconcieved ideas
can prevent one from seeing the light.

Thanks for your patience, and thanks the others on the list too for
tolerating this long discussion. Now next time something similar
happen at least one would be better equipped to handle it.
