I have no idea what "the right thing" is, but rewhatevering or not, I'll
try it without the braid first, just to see what happens, and braid if it's
noisy. I tried leaving the braid out of a S&S D a few years ago, and it
groaned and wailed something awful. I put in the braid, and the Banshees
went away.
