Andrew, your comments that I disagree with are the ones I quoted. That this thread is an abomination is beyond any decent person's doubt, and my point in that post has since been nicely amplified by Craig's story. The negative forces that I refer to as having turned this thread abominable are the same forces that can't abide the slightest criticism of NVA products that Craig refers to. And the stories starting to come out of the woodwork now also reflect abominable behaviour - regardless of how typical or common it is. That it happens just once is inexcusable and indefensible.

Well, ask your pal RD, since he's done similar he may be able to shed some light - although I suspect the word hate features in the explanation.

I thought you'd pushed for it to be done this way just before leaving. Like I said, my memory isn't 100 percent.
No, I'm pretty sure I did say something like that. My view from first owning SSP and before ever meeting RD was that the connector used and the method of construction was not fit for purpose for such a stiff cable. I think the post you are thinking of was when I posted a picture of the connectors used by Blue Jean Cable and saying that it wasn't rocket science and why not use a connector like theirs because it twists freely separate from the cable and thus would prevent a user from twisting and breaking the cable. Anyway, it'll be there on the forum if you look for it (unless all my posts have been deleted which is also possible)
