[TowerTalk] Why is the 25GSSB Base Plate Difficult to Find?

[Jeff Stevens]

Thank you to everyone who has emailed me on and off list.  Thanks for
all of the great references as well.

I guess my main question is why does virtually nobody sell the
self-supporting base plate?  Do people not use them?

The pinned and tilt over are available everywhere.  The lack of wide
availability of the self supporting base plate is perplexing...
