Hm. Well thanks. I'm used to that though :-)

I usually wire the front panel pots/switches/buses/etc to the board with flexible wires. 
When building it (usually a one off) you (I) move around the front and PCB a lot, so I 
feel happier encasing the wire-to-solder joint in heatshrink. Just to lessen mechanical 
stress there. For the connection at the board side I used soldering pins a lot.. Again 
with a piece of heatshrink at the female side. Never soldered wires directly into a board.
