Agreed completely Paul. I have had both 2SP and 4T with loose hot shoes,
and currently have 4T with no hotshoe at all - the four fixing screws are
winking at me from the top plate. But never any problems with the TTL
socket.
The TTL socket is screwed is a captive fitting passed through from inside
the top plate with a threaded collar fixing on the outside, and secured in
place on the inside with (wait for it) ... Epoxy adhesive. It won't move,
believe me (I tried to remove it).

I'm not sure I've ever heard of problems with the TTL connectors on the
front of the later bodies - I use mine all the time. I have heard about OM-4
and OM-2S hot shoes coming loose, though. I doubt the use of the shoe cord
is really necessary, but I also doubt it will cause any problems. Maybe John
H. or Clint could comment on the relative failures of the two connections.
