All of which led to the discovery of an unanticipated interaction of Rays and SideBySideGlassesTastingNotes. So, in manner sanctified by much usage since the dawn of the computer age, it has been added to the manual and labelled a ‘feature’.

I wish I could think of something profound to say. But I can't.

GM86=Remarkably (suspiciously?) dark.
Ch91=Not worth £50.
