[Al Harris]

I'm a bit tired and clumsy of foot these days Alan. If a nails up I'll 
kick the darn thing, and probably lift my own nail.

You're right though, most screws are prone to sheering, whilst a nail is 
usually softer. Especially if the screw is primed to sheer by over 
zealous tension from the cordless drill.

Cheers,
