Here's another that didn't make it to the list:
Rick,

Look at http://www.ttalk.info/Tech/BrakeLightRelay.html and see where 
the green/purple wire is attached to the output of the relay.  That's 
where the brake light signal goes to the turn signal relay.  What you 
want to do is to install a piggyback connector at that point and run a 
wire from it to your third brake light.  That way you'll bypass the turn 
signal relay and the third brake light will not blink.  Don't forget to 
ground the other side of the third brake light wiring.
