ROFLMAO!  Yeah, for some reason duct tape seems kinda hokey to me too! 
I don't 
know what better options there are out there, but I remember seeing duct
tape 
under the threaded perches on a certain turbo 4k that made it into a
certain 
magazine.

I don't know if I would end up using duct tape myself (I might have to),
but 
it just struck me as funny that this came up in conversation.  I
remember 
thinking, "hmm...  Is that duct tape under there?"  I didn't ask.

No offense anyone! :-)

Later,

Ken
