That's great! Judging from the responses I've received, I'm half crazy and
half right. I've caused a fuss with folks that don't have the problem, and
caused the folks that have had the problem to be chastized by those that
don't for doing unconventional things (like a stronger pin). Not sure where
this all leads, but I'm glad that you folks who have no problems don't,
those that did shared, and those that can have helped think this through for
me.

Now, if it would only get cool enough to go sailing this winter!

Take care everybody,

J.J.
