Hi -

I'll add my 2 cents on this pressure plate thing.  The glass pressure plates
do not _look_ like glass.  They are not translucent and look for all the
world like some sort of metal.  My first M3 had one.  It was fine.  I was
afraid it would break.  It didn't.  I was afraid of problems.  There were
none.  To what end would we 'scratch' a pressure plate?
