We are also coming from that group only. It's actually 6 SECTIONS and not 6 DIVISIONS.

This is very much like the Medevil discussions of how many Angels can fit on the head of a pin.

My manual says 4. But what difference does it make unless you try to use one that doesn't exist? icon_rolleyes.gif
