Better late than never. You're responding to a TEN YEAR OLD
POST! (that was already answered)

Although, to his credit, he is the only one that mentioned "blunt
tip".

Everybody else just basically said "any screw will do".

Here's a good reason why "any screw will *not* do":

Although I understand the reason for safety and codes, most screws
(on home breakerboxes) are in the corners. And wires don't easily
make right-angle bends. Just my perception on it.

No, but, sometimes a lazy electrician/wannabe and/or home owner who
doesn't care about the pleasant looking panel aspects might leave
wires chilling a bit too far towards the sides. Some might say parts
of the code is all about keeping stupid from being dead.

Hmmm. I most certainly don't understand how I can access a copy of a
zip file but then not be able to unzip it so I can watch it. That
seems VERY clever!
