RE: damping heatsink fins

I've read a number of posts on various sites were people have recommended damping heatsinks as well as the chassis.

Initially I was think of putting something on the bottom of the fins since heat rises. Now I'm thinking of putting something along the outer edges of the fins so airflow is not impeded. Maybe a strip of some type of rubber, on each side, running from the first to last fin and held against the outer edges of the fins with two sided tape.

Regarding chassis damping, I have a gut feeling that is what the spike on the bottom of mccormack amps is for. Just a guess. Maybe Steve Mccormack will kindly shed some light or recommendations.
