Hello Don:

"Forbidden" means "don't do this" and that is exactly what I meant. If
you prefer some other word, fine. 

Nearly everything expressed on this group is opinion. If someone says
"crimped connections are better", that's an opinion. If someone says
"Davis RF says crimped connections are better", that's a fact. Note
that the fact is that Davis RF said it, not that crimped connections
are better. 

The difference is subtle but I trust you understand it. 

73, Bill W6WRT
