Thanks for your instructive reply. I did not see the other two neighbors. I
suppose not all of are as brilliant as you are all of the time. When I was
seeing it, it was a hex, not a box scooted over. From my vantage point, it
only had six neighbors, not eight. I suppose next time, as not to clutter
up the list, I'll just not bother posting, and remain in the dark; not as
enlightened, but not as rebuked. Enjoy your lack of my clutter from now on.
Quzah.
