Grrr... maddening. </span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.02em;">Life has since intervened, but I'll be addressing those darned seals next week. </span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.02em;"> - Jim</span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.02em;"><br></span></div>
