Thanks for your reply Josh,

I did post a response, but didn't notice that it only went to Karl, not to
the rest of the list (perhaps this is a potential feature request for the
discussion lists, i.e. reply to list, rather than reply to sender).

Somehow I knew as soon as I sent a support request, I'd see that it was my
own fault in the first place.

Thanks to everyone!
