I actually did email Sporlan and here's what they said. (in other
words they don't have a clue).

"I don't know if there is a definitive answer to your question.

It would be better on a "more-horizontal" line than a
"more-veritical"
line.

If you are experiencing issues it may be a matter of trial and error
to
find the best location."

Thanks/Sorry Mike & everyone. I wanted the post to be a information
quest type of question for Howard, however I failed to
address it TO Howard and left it open ended. 8-O

Oh well, Dido's reply was kind of interesting. <g>
