No problem.

It's also worth noting that you need to figure out which camp someone is in when they discuss low gears.

Some view that low gears should be a bit faster, and used for maneuvering at times (I know 33 is in this camp, and with their solid autoshift code they have a valid argument).

Another argument is that high gear is the default gear for ALL motion, and that low gear is only used for pushing, climbing, etc... Sometimes for precise in place turns for aiming. This camp would obviously prefer a slower low gear than the first.

Although I am in the second camp, I can not definitively say it is the way to go. It's important to figure out which camp someones if preaching their information from so you can interpret it accordingly. Too many people post that X FPS is TOO SLOW/TOO FAST as if it is a hard line rule
