|Please don't everyone scream at me at once...but I took a pen knife and cut

|contact.  That allows me to force the flash onto the Realist shoe with its
|big bump.  Once it's on, it stays on.  Takes a little force to get it back
|off.  Works for me.  I can hear the screaming now.  Dick Wood

ARRGH DICK!!!!

(just kidding). Actually, I did a similar thing with my previous flash.
Generally the thought is that you don't want to modify the Realist, 
(at least in a way that can't be put back) but
it's ok to modify "modern" equipment (of course... if you keep it long
enough, then it becomes a collectable too :-)
