i find the pinning a pain, but not enough of one to change the method. adding more of a leader doesn't negate the use of pinning. so unless i take one off to put another one on, it doesn't matter to me. i don't do that. it's just always going to be a pain in the neck.
i hope you're all plugged into the yahoo! group for tin lizzy users. even if you just lurk, you should definitely go there. you can learn a lot from other people. i would give you the link, but that would link you back to my own membership, not yours. find in online as yahoo! groups
