Thanks for your instructive reply. I did not see the other two neighbors. I suppose not all of are as brilliant as you are all of the time. When I was seeing it, it was a hex, not a box scooted over. From my vantage point, it only had six neighbors, not eight. I suppose next time, as not to clutter up the list, I'll just not bother posting, and remain in the dark; not as enlightened, but not as rebuked. Enjoy your lack of my clutter from now on.
