Hi John et al
Based on that analysis, then, check out your next Leaden/Satin Fly and
watch as, Leaden anyway, respond quite readily to Satin Fly

It would certainly save me a lot of heartache and frustration!
(Written very much tongue in cheek and having only a minimal
understanding of how splits really do reach a conclusion.....)
Cheers
Colin
