what a mess.

Tried to insert this as a html table in Ed's post, but it just made a mess of it (sorry). Then did it in my own post and it still creates a shitload of useless space. No idea how to get rid of it.

Anyway, I thought this data was important enough to make sure it was in a readable format.

Thanks Ed (& Michael)

I had to search all over to find this, forgot what forum it was in, so now its also posted in my pages http://www.shaman-australis.com/~auxin/tobacco.htmlHERE

Cheers, Auxin.

That makes it look a lot better.
