When you get up in years, you start to repeat yourself-that's my excuse, and
I'm stickin' with it!

HI Andy,

Yeah, I think you've said that before! Then why not oz*in, or oz.in? They
aren't SUBTRACTED either!

It took me a few years to get when they swapped it from in/oz, and now you
want me to change again? ;>)

Alan KM6VV
P.S. Well if that was the only mistake I ever made, I'd be happy!
