Right, I'm relieved too. For support, we'll need a motto: Now repeat
after me .. "I, ________, am a certified back-to-fronter."  Er, wait,
that doesn't sound too good. How about:  "I, ________, always jam the
rear into the side of my nose."  Hmmm maybe: "I, _________, prefer
peering into the back rather than the front." Er.. Oh, nevermind!  We'll
just do it our way, Joel. Er...  :>)

I started out using the focussing rail head configuration.  Works great,
but I decided I wanted to rest it on the slide for ease of use.

And, Charlie:

I haven't yet taken the glass out, but it's on my to do list.
