It might be that there was a bad batch, and all those who got those ones co=
mplained publicly, whereas those who didn't naturally assumed this was norm=
al and never mentioned it. =0D

recent postings about it. Could be old stock involved too.=0D

Or maybe there's something about how they're used that does it, like puttin=
g them on a certain way.=0D
