Really? I was at TeamSwift yesterday re-reading your head-shave reports, and they seemed positive to me! You should go back and update that thread. :P

The pinging's no huge surprise, but I'd like to hear about the "general trouble".

You took Mike's advice and went for the .040 reduction, right? If you could put some back, would you? Or would you only go right back to stock?
