Just so Mr. Nebensahi doesn't lecture me again on bottom, top, or sideways
posting...I'll bottom post this time.

1. The insulation winds up compressing a bit, since these days it is all
plastic. Old style cloth insulation would probably bunch up. But my
experience has been that the insulation compresses a bit, then you solder
on
the feeder, the push it back to the solder joint so very little bare wire
is
exposed. It has worked fine for me.

That is how I have always done the operation and found it work the best.

2. Top posting doesn't mean that I will write my text in reverse order, so
you sarcastic analogy is not parallel.

My reasons for top posting and preferring it go back to my original usenet
days (where I lost the netiquette battle, though there was a substantial
minority (OK, there were only a few dozens of us at the outset) who agreed
with me. In a LONG series of replies, you don't see the latest stuff on
the
initial screen, but must scroll down to it. I much prefer to see the
latest
stuff first, and if I've been following the discussion, I know the
context.
If not, the I get to scroll to catch up. It is a preference. Like when
people leave me phone messages with their phone numbers at the end of a 10
minute message which I didn't want to hear anyway. Oh, well, we disagree:
not a surprising even here in the news groups.

If persons responding to posts would trim irrelevant pieces of the previous
post out of their replies, it would make life better all the way around (I
believe). That includes deleting everything below their last statement in
their response, in an effort to minmize the eefort required to follow a long
thread.

3. You started it...niener niener niener (no, I'm not trying to start or
continue a flame war )

4, You are correct that I should bottom post for consistency so that posts
either read from top to bottom or bottom to top, not top to middle back to
mid top, to bottom, up to middle....

It does make the read, that much easier.

Tell you what, in the interests of netiquitte, I'll set my reader to
bottom
post even though it makes me reset my point above my sig because bottom
puts
my sig in, then set the insertion point below that...yikes! Microsoft
strikes again (Entourage).

LOL! I know what you mean.
