Actually I did. However I think the flexibility of the chain helps with respect to dampening. Solid rods tend to resonate longer whereas chains dissipate some of this energy between the links. The opposite of conservation of energy if you like.
Many people hang chain freely off their OTAs and mounts for this reason.
