Hi Paul,

I just got your e-mail in response to the above.  I was just
about to send an update to my post of yesterday on this.

I went home and experimented with my K1 and, surely enough, the
same behavior you described was noted on an intermittent basis.
I came to the same conclusion that was contained in your recent
e-mail to me, that:

It's a surprise to me that I never noticed this in the 2.5 years
I've had my K1, nor have I seen any list remarks on it.  It's
obviously a harmless artifact, but it's nice to know about anyway.

Thanks for bringing the matter up.  One learns something new here
about our rigs all the time, it seems.
