Nope, and it wasn't a question. <G> It just seems to me that a group 
that would sit in silence as someone seriously suggests that a unison 
that is out of level will adversely (even perceptibly) affect letoff on 
shift needs some consciousness recalibration, and this strikes me as a 
valid practical point that has never been addressed on list or anywhere 
else I'm aware of. Level under levers at rest present minimum friction, 
and at the bottom of the key stroke, they rock up on the key end and 
change the lift ratio presenting more resistance. Is that a good thing, 
or a bad thing, and why? THAT, is definitely a question.
