I agree, but it is darn disgusting to spend $$$ on something that is so unreliable! Particularly when a simple, cheap solution is better, just not as "elegant".

I wanted to see if anybody in the Velocity community would be interested in a set.  I'm not sure how long it would take for me to fabricate a set and I haven't really settled on a price yet.  I was hoping to gauge demand here.  If you're interested, please feel free to drop me an email offline at: peter.braswell at gmail.com.
