Obligatory Orange T-Molding

I would classify it as friendly banter.
The end result of that friendly banter is that you now have several different options available to solve your problem.

yah, the minute I start taking myself too seriously is the moment I start a downward spiral, eventually leading to a 9-5 job in a cubicle, pushing papers, wondering what meaning my life would have....wait a minute, I WOULD be needed in that scenario!  Those papers don't push themselves, you know!

Like NoOneNBA said, now you know several ways to do it.  IMO, it'd be criminal to post around here asking for help over and over without adding to something in an area which you have lots of experience and might have an easier/better/more stable way to do things.  

Look around the internet.  99% of ANY other message boards you read are nothing but derogatory towards those who DON'T know, rather than helping them get to be someone who DOES know!  Now compare it to here.  OSCAR makes MONEY selling his products, and yet, he'll be one of the most helpful/useful people regarding setting up a hack for something, even though he's sorta "givin' the milk away for free".  

You now have enough info to make a choice in one of several directions.  Others might do it differently; doesn't make them wrong, just makes them different.  If I asked and they gave me a way I never thought of, if possible, I'd give it a go just to see if it's better than my way.  That's how most "established methods" come about, trial and error.  I look at it as "I just learned something".  See -->HERE<-- for another take on it.

I couldn't agree with you all enough.  I like the feel of this board.  Definantly a good place to learn.  I guess if I had to go back and say it all over again, (not going to erase my original post) I should have said, I am suprised that t-molding generated so much debate.  It is nice to have so many choices to choose from.  Thank you all again for your help.

Exactly.  The thread I started on modular control panels is another example of the same.  Multiple approaches to the same problem and similar approaches to different problems.  Seeing how others are tackling a modular CP is useful for everyone who's doing it.  The ideas presented germinated some new thoughts in my head and I've since redesigned the way I'm building mine.

FWIW, I have tried the hot glue method twice and it didn't work well for me.  It dries too fast for me to get it situated in the slot just right.  Since then I have just used some standard Elmer's glue and used some tape to hold it in while it dried overnight.  Been real happy with this method so far.
