Great reportables Sir Yancy ( surely this guy deserves a knighthood )
Now, the distance changes I truely do not understand, but on the theme of Mr FMagnets name ?
I heard a couple of stories regarding this, me being the innocent type seen it as F(ridge)Magnets, but had it on good authority it actually stands for F(unny)Magnet , I think thats what was said but was suffering from a little sinusitis at the time :-(
But after looking at the latest investigatables it can only mean one thing F(reaky)Magnets.
Good luck with the conclusions, but I to believe its magnetic related in someways.
Where FMagnets balls are attracted, mine are defo repelled , I'll leave it at that .
Merry Xmas bud and may 2015 bring us nearer to understanding the unusuables up here on the WGT.
