Thank you, Friend Mark. That is precisely why I developed the initialism twenty years or so ago. "Thread-Mount" does sound cooler than "screw mount", which, if the truth be told, is vaguely questionable in this PC world. (I happen to own a teen-age male Sulcata tortoise who would like nothing better than to "screw mount" our rather younger female Sulcata. In time, in time, Franklin! In the meantime, he can reduce his hormones while cleaning the threads on my LTM lenses and cameras ... ) Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
