Can't get rid of paragraph spaces converting to Mobi

I'm just getting the handle of this business of conversions using Calibre and Sigil to reformat, tweak, etc.

I've run into a unique (for me) problem of not being able to get rid of those extra spaces between paragraphs with two similarly formatted ebooks -- despite ticking off "remove spacing between paragraphs" and later, also using heuristic processing to "delete blank lines between paragraphs".

I'm converting from ePub to Mobi. The paragraph issue isn't as prominent when viewing the Mobi in the Kindle for PC software, but when transferred to my Kindle, those blasted para spaces are still there

I have checked the stylesheet.css in Sigil and the line-hight of 1.2 seems to match other conversions and epubs that had no similar problems.

Is this a matter for the Calibre forum or Sigil? I'd love to stamp out those nasty spaces asap!!

Here's the stylesheet, just in case some maven here can spot the problem right off:

@namespace h "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
.big {
