I'd ask about the length of the front duplex, but my eyes might roll back 
into my head while I was trying to understand the explanation.  I get the 
part about deflection (an easy concept for me to grasp).

If it's not the hardness, why would it be OK for a while and then become a
problem? (twice!)

I will also do what David Love suggested with the half-round.

Thanks everyone.
