I absolutely expect a follow up post to this that includes your thoroughly researched answer as to why this contraption is in place in order to satisfy my curiosity. K, thanks. ;)

This was actually one of the straighter ones... and wouldn't one expect that the straightener pole would be planted in the ground somewhere? It just seems like it would work better.
