Front tyre condition and pressure will alter rear height as well, when on centre stand.

Very true sir ,very true. But in my defence..although I don`t want to admit it..there was an ad on TV that disrupted my concerntration which was for the Miracle Bra,and it had rather voluptuous women jumping and running..well I am a red blooded male,and it distracted my comprehension.
