Hi, Mark, Rod, Fer! Hi everyone!      Now I realize that 45 deg is the solution to the 'maximum difference between North and South' problem. I liked the idea from Rod and Fer of truncating an sphere to show the Sun's movement. And of course the results from Mark are smashingly self-explanato

Hi Tony (& All I guess), I just don't understand this new change to the "reply". I do not belong to other lists so I was never confused by "reply" to the one person who sent it or "reply all" to everyone and the list. Now we are already getting many unwanted personal responses. It seems you ju
