Yup, that's what we were doing last night. Then we unbolted the derailleur from the bike and just tried to "straighten" it. It wouldn't move past a certain point, and that point was about 2 gears from the bottom. At this point the Low gear limit screw was sticking out about 7mm, and it was definitely not impeding movement.
thanks again.
