Excuse me?

Guys -

I have found a replacement jack for Cliff which looks/acts the same as
far as the user experience, sans the annoying intermittentcy
associated with Cliff jacks.  Saints be praised.

We already have a few thousand of these jacks in stock.  A matter of
fact, most of our new products will require them in that the controls
are spaced too closely together to use the Cliffs.

One thing:  These new jacks come with round nuts, not hex nuts.  I
have been looking in to having hex nuts made and have found a few
offshore manufacturers willing to take my relatively small quantities
(15,000k), but I have become increasing suspect of some of them, being
very aggressive in asking for the money up front, requesting the funds
by placed into personal accounts, this sort of thing.  Basically I'm
smelling a rat.

So I pose the question to you all:

Would you mind terribly the use of round nuts on jacks?  At last in
the interim and until I can find a reliable source whom I feel is
being more forthright with me in the negotiations.  Personally I don't
think they don't look bad at all.  Just picture a Cliff jack with a
small round bezel around it as apposed to a hex nut.

I've set up a poll to tally your feelings on this entitled:  ROUND NUTS?

lemme know and thanks.
