why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable

Goeff says: Sometimes tis best to remain silent and thought a fool than to open your yap and remove all doubt.

So....you are calling me a fool.  When at a loss for something clever to say, you always resort to name calling.  MY being a fool (according to you) has nothing to do with the discussion here.

But, what the hell, you needed to say something to get your post-point in.  10,000 posts by the end of July.  We are all rooting for you, Geoff!!

You must be a world renowned physicist, given you deep understanding of cables. Where do you teach, professor? MIT? Caltech?

Which decade did the did the professor you’re responding to post on this thread?

If you think that expensive cables are no less than the cheap one, then you are wrong. These cables are made with compounds manufactured under high-quality standards, waterproof and without using halogen as compared to normal cables. I prefer to buy cables from the reliable power cable manufacturers for safety, security and quality.

Does that make it any clearer for you , geoffkait?

Allow me to translate....peaceful coexistence tends to outrank constant war, exploitation and strife. In other words, peaceful, respectful discussions are possible without vehement disagreement and argument that devolves into insult and destruction of any/all dialog....Did I get that right, gdhal?
