So I passed him your advise:-)
I also signed for the new list very reluctantly, and only a day
or two ago. I strongly prefer the old list, but of course I
don't want to stay alone in it:-)

Oh, if so, I missed this. (I had somehow the opposite picture
from George's messages).

Yes, I seem to have exactly the same problem,
though I am still reluctant to confirm it.
(If so, this would imply that both Freiberger and CP arc tests
are a balooney. I would rather assume that I am a poor observer,
my sight deteriorates etc... But my results seem stable and reproducible).
