No I did not set either of those. In fact they are all created dynamically every time the card is opened. Now that you mention it I don't even set any scrolling modes.

Children, As you all remember, I did a lot of work with a certain nation-wide restaurant chain in the 80s. I ate cherry pancakes at over 300 locations - including the original in Santa Barbara. I knew both “Sam” and “Bo”. Back
