Hi Rick,

I'll be doing the same thing and I am in the process of sending my extra offsets to Dell to share with the group.

Warm Regards,
Fred

This has been very helpful--thanks all! I'm obviously keeping mine too shallow and too dry in dormancy. I don't mind having extra offsets though, and would like to swap (if anyone is interested) since mine are of a generic clone.

Thanks,
Rick Buell
