Many ways to skin a cat i guess.

I wonder where the practice of using them came from given so many alternatives.

Having said that can you have too many accessories?

Actually, the only internal thread I have done so far WAS on plastic pipe - it was a connector that threaded onto a speaker driver for a talkbox (think Frampton).
