So you *did* have to resolve it yourself.  Some people are still in the
process of doing so.  Not everyone here is on the same level of development
photographically.  So, like you say, the delete button is for those who don't
think they don't care or already know what's being discussed.

I'd like to know whether anybody actually had his/her strap lug or tripod
socket bent or pulled out because of using a wriststrap.
