Hi all--

Adam Schabtach's thoughts mirror, to a large extent, my own.

I've got a good number of standard MOTM panels, and Stooge panels which
match the MOTM standard. I've also got a handful of anodized and engraved
panels, and a few that have been DIY painted and labeled (erhm - ∗fairly∗
neatly, of course), with letraset or whatever you call those stick-on
letters.

I've found that as long as the panel looks _generally_ like its neighbors
(i.e., black surface, white letters, similar knobs), that the precise nature
of the black surface or the lettering doesn't bother me much. I guess I'm
not as much of a stickler for consistency!

Agreed. Additionally, if there were a Stooge service, I'd be more tempted to
convert over some of my hand-made panels as well.
