Well, back from watching the grass grow. Very exciting. Still need mowing.
Why can grass shrink when it rains? More exciting than this thread anyway.
Yeah, round pin, square pin, component leg, triangular pin, one made from
barb wire, an (now, pay attention) alligator clip will short out or fall off
them all eventually. Big deal.

As I said, nothing to go off and invade Poland for.

That's why I use the hook type clips. Downside is they cost more, and only
seem to come in red & black. If you have a different clip that just happens
to work superbly on a square pin, well, ain't that great. I'll bake you a
cake in the shape of it. Or Poland.
