Thank you George! Do you know how many samples I should throw away because sometimes it appeares to be 2 samples, while other times it appears to be 10 samples? Could Matt tell me what the size of the first set would be? Thank you!

I forget the exact cause of this, Matt would probably know. I would throw away the first set of samples. - George
