Thanks for confirming the accuracy of my statement.

But I've hardly been here for some time, as I've been splitting my time 
between that, family responsibilities, and getting another degree, which 
doesn't leave time for much other than sleeping.

I see that nobody posts many circuits anymore and I'm sorry for that. 
but at the end of the day I learned enough over the years here that 
people wanted to pay me more and more often for doing it, and I'm not 
going to turn them down.
