Subject: Re: My initial take on the panel discussion

Now I get it! That's a really good idea. I've been mulling over this problem (like
others) for some time - it just never occured to me to put something in front of
the modules, secured by the existing screws. Now, how about a material that
won't mar or react with the paint? Also, I'm thinkin' this could look really cool or
really dumb depending on the material, color, shape and execution. Anybody
up for pursuing this? I'd be in for 50 or so, if they were say, between $1 and $2
each. These would also act as washers. Good idea, Dave!
