Yeah, I figured that out when you, in a previous post, in passing, 
mentioned setting up in opposite corners of the * long * table edge.

However, if you thought this was an issue, you could have mentioned it 
when I * explicitly listed * the set-ups that my group uses.  That would

have been both more helpful to me and more productive for everyone than 
us going around in circles and off on tangents.
