The text in your message implies that you ran them once, and there's absolutely nothing there to indicate multiple runs. Just because you usually, even always, do something, doesn't mean it should automatically be assumed that you did, when the implication is the opposite. Even still, the fact that you ran only 4 positions, and yet complain about the data Vincent is using, that uses 6 positions, is pretty silly, no matter how many times you ran your positions.
