Methinks this system was designed by monkeys with protractors and
T-squares just to make the Common Dumb Man confuzed...

How DARE you nitpick on the DML! geeeeeeeze!! :D
No, seriously, thanks Jon. Funny thing you bring this up, because as I
was typing my last reply lastnight... I thought to myself if I was using
the terminology right. I was thinking Kyle was looking for a large
offset. As, what I now know to be an offset value, is what I was
referring to, as opposed to that dastardly backspacing stuff. I had to
go with a 3 or 3.5 inch offset (don't remember which one) to get the
mudders on Christine to clear stuff, and was warning Kyle against going
with a 4.5 inch offset.
Thanks for clearing that up :)
