Subject: [PLAN_B_analog_blog] Question for my peeps: Round nuts (huh?)

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.
