Spawn of Satan ??? nay... SATAN INCARNATE !!!  :^P

(Scott means, watch out for intermittent connections, which may result from
abuse like too-large diameter leads into the holes... and watch out for
parasitic (unwanted) capacitance and inductance that can make things flakey in
a hard to duplicate way. These can make your life a living hell (just like the
~real~ Satan... unless you are aware and willing to accept the possible
troubles in advance !!!)

I prefer vector board and T42A push in terminals... and all soldered
connections.
