You can say that again... :-)

I started at the top of an 8 x 11 sheet, in small print, close 
spaced, and barely got
it all in before running out of room at the bottom.   Lots of repetitive

Guess if you want the points, they make you work for it.  :-)

Did not hear KD4E when I was on the key... darn!
