    The part about CDO reminds me of the dyslexic agnostic who was suffering from amnesia. He used to lie awake at night, wondering if there really is a Dog.

    I have OC without the D. Sorry but I just don't buy the notion that wanting things to be "just so" is a "disorder". NOT CARING one way or another, now THAT's a disorder. Being that as it may, to align the knobs, just wad up a small bit of kleenex and stuff it into the bottom of the knob. Use trial and error to get the right amount to allow the knob to come up tight with the proper orientation. Oh, and my wall plate screws are vertical.

    Anyone know how to reset the panel if it pops through after pushing the knobs?
