Ah! Thank you, Glen. I missed that. And that is why when I wish to e-mail such info, I always 
write it as "0.5" not simply ".5" as an example.

In which case, he can completely dismiss anything I told him, except how to peak L-1.

Yes. That is my experience too.

Well, I missed it. After all, I am within only a few days of my 75th birthday, and my eyesight is 
getting worse.
