Go directly to post #7 in that thread (disregard post #2; it contained errors and was corrected by the original poster in post # 7)

The link to the HJ forum posted by FrankBooth is listed as the source for the data at the AHF thread as well; I just thought I would post this additional link to the AHF as it requires no login to view.
