    To be fair, we taught a lesson in "Aiming up and down", "Other points of aim" and "Aiming off for wind" so left and right adjustments were superfluous.

    You are very fair Jim What's the phrase? "Volley’d and thunder’d". Nevermind Tennyson was talking cannons, and we (well, certainly me) are each very biased when it comes to the various strengths/weaknesses of international perspectives on the topic, and of course the history of the same. To each their own - but I do enjoy hearing from others on the topic.
