We do have a small home-town Ace Hardware store that's about the same
distance as the new Home Depot. They open at 11:00 this morning and I'll
be waiting on their doorstep. I don't know why I only think of going to
them *after* I've been screwed by Home Depot, but one of these days I'll
learn...

I don't mean this as a flame or anything but really - how did Home Depot
screw you? You presumably went in, looked around, found what you thought
you needed/wanted and bought it. Were the bolts mis-labelled? Were you
unable to inspect or see the bolts? I suspect that the fact the shoulder
was narrower than the thread was relatively apparent to anyone who cared to
look. Just 'cause they weren't what you thought they were doesn't mean HD
screwed you (you kinda screwed yourself).
