Joe,
Your experience is similar to mine: I had a Phal put out a spike right after
I complained that it wasn't spiking. Who said they aren't listening to us,
and occasionally granting our wishes? :-)

Well, a very funny thing (to me) happened...on Saturday I looked up and
the
darned thing had a little branch about 1/16" coming out of the old spike.
It's
gotten a tad bigger over the last couple of days, and it appears my wish
has
been granted.

How about that for timing? Could it be a "sign"?
