[RE-wrenches] more on roof penetrations

[R. Walters]

Oh just because the L foot was bad mouthed on the list earlier,  
although no one had ever had a reported problem, even with installs  
20 years old.
I think its actually your new product line of cool flashed mounts  
that made us all feel inadequate with the venerable L foot.
Glad to hear about the change to the heavier duty hanger bolt.

Thanks,

Ray
