Hi, Mike.

You just gave me a flashback to when I put some fencing up in our garden. I
smugly added in one more post than panels because I'd been taught in school
that people often mistakenly think you need the same number of posts as panels
then end up a post short.

When it came to putting the fence up I still found myself one post short
because, like a dingbat, I failed to factor in that the fence has a gap in it
to access some steps. So instead of n+1 posts I really needed n+2...

When I called up the fencing supplier to order another post mount she said
'Did you forget to add one?'... 'No, but... yes'.
