It just occurred to me that a small explanatory note-- about the 'why' of this
addition-- might be useful, somewhere in your package. So that future users
don't scratch their heads and flood the newsgroups with questions like, "WHY are
these values not 0.0??! What's this crazy .004 addition for??" Maybe for users
like...me, ha. When I've long since forgotten the details of this discussion :-P

Perhaps a modified form of Bald Eagle's explanation(s) would suffice.

And I neglected to mention what a nice job you did with collating and updating
these granite textures. Your hard work is appreciated. I especially like the
three-way 'switch' for each texture, a great addition.

Thank you!
