George, You may have hit on something. I seem to remember something about "width gets too long" with Universe breaking up the string. This may be part of the puzzle. The question then becomes, how to prevent UniVerse from breaking up the string? Logically I would think that there is some characteristic that can be changed within the environment.
Has anyone else run into this (and solved it)?
