I hear ya cluckin' red rooster...
I've taken a few "body blows" myself, on some of my more ummmmmmm...
"outside the box" mods, but that's OK, I'm never gonna do mods to please others, only myself.
Opinions (especially mine) are worth about what was paid, prolly less...
However, THAT being said, when any of us asks for others to opine on mods...brace yourself...
And then do it YOUR WAY!
