Hi,

Thank you very much for your comments.

Also, these are all just fine as-is for now.  A better way to make
these lines smaller is to use better variable and function names 
that are shorter and make sense :)
I have v2 ready but I'm not sure, given the Joe's patch, if my solution
is a satisfactory one. I didn't jump on such refactoring as I'm still
learning about the codebase/process and didn't want to muddle the
waters (...more than I do already).

Greg, what would you prefer? Should I back up with my patch, pick
something else and let Joe's patch be merged?


Also, I have a question about the patch if that's ok :)

Maybe some refactoring like:

I see that you introduced `uChannel--` to further tidy up the lines
with `[uChannel - 1]`. In general, is there anything wrong with
indexing like `i - 1`? What's the preference here? DRY things up as
much as possible?

I'm asking because when I was reading this line, at first, it wasn't
clear to me why we could decrement it (example though: "Was this
modified earlier? Do we need to "correct" it?").


Thanks,
Karolina
