Thanks Mary, for you input. I agree with your statement. But the problem 
isn't so much after ring, but the inconstancies between them. If B1 is 
shutting off in .5 second, and C2 takes 1.5 seconds to quite down, that is a 
big difference. And that is the problem. A little after ring on all the notes 
is a good thing. But a lot on some, and a little on others, is annoying. And 
that is the problem I am trying to solve.
