Hey Strike, you forgot you're addressing a clueless, bottom-of-the-

We'll have to wait for the verdict one our strobe gets WET.   But
any strobe who instruction manual says NEVER to grease any of the
O-rings can blame it on us for not greasing the O-rings.  :-)  As
for attachment -- AFAIK, it took Sue about 5 seconds -- once whe
found the hole at the bottom of the housing where the arm of the
strobe was supposed to be attached, with the turn of a built-in
screw.  So far, it seems to be IDIOT-proof ... but as the old saying
goes ... never mind ... I can't stand the thought of Ron Lee the
IDIOT popping in here should I use that jihad word once too often.
