[TowerTalk] EHS strength ratings.

["Dave Tipton" <dave@dmtgweb.com>]

I was at my local home depot the other day, and they had 3/16th steel cable
for about .45c a foot, which is pretty reasonable (For, pick it up and pay
no shipping costs).  However, what I didn't get, was that it said it had a
rating of 750lbs.  I thought 3/16th had a rating of like 4000 lbs.  Am I
comparing apples to apples here?
