[TowerTalk] PowerPole connectors

[Bill Turner]

What am I missing about PowerPole connectors?

It seems to me to be a solution in search of a problem. What do they
do that you can't do with a crimp type ring terminal and a screw type
terminal strip at much lower cost? 

It looks to me like someone wanted to make some money by inventing a
product that didn't need inventing and then selling to hams as if it
were a necessity. 

Am I wrong?
