Hi, Mike.

You just gave me a flashback to when I put some fencing up in our garden. I smugly added in one more post than panels because I'd been taught in school that people often mistakenly think you need the same number of posts as panels then end up a post short.

When it came to putting the fence up I still found myself one post short because, like a dingbat, I failed to factor in that the fence has a gap in it to access some steps. So instead of n+1 posts I really needed n+2...

When I called up the fencing supplier to order another post mount she said 'Did you forget to add one?'... 'No, but... yes'.
