Thanks, y'all.  And thanks Bill S... I'm all for cutting out the
"dumb" things - turnbuckle is out of the equation now.

Mike - I have no problem with doing it up all nice n' purty with rope,
but I think my Powers That Be will easily go for the chain solution,
because A) there's already chain in some of those spots, and 2) the
recent rigging inspection recommended chain, and III) rope might look
a bit less "polished" than expensive hardware. :)

Not to toot my own horn too much, but the rigging inspection report
came back raving about what remarkable condition the facility and
rigging is in, and even named me the culprit er, reason behind it.
(Not bad for a 10-year-old high school PAC that has a ton of events
come through it.)
