Ok, you got me. I'll list some reasons in a futile attempt to save
my face :)
- your original mail said "max"
- I thought "that's wrong" and corrected it to "min"
- then Perry mailed me, saying "shouldn't that be max?"
- it was late when I committed it
- it was early when I read his mail.
So there..
