Whoa, Grainger...
First, we may not be adding anything to the OP, but there was a healthy discussion of wire strippers among the participants in this thread. Arguably that discussion would be better placed in the "Tools" forum, but I don't think it is fair to say that this thread is somehow useless.
Second, there is this little thing called the "search" function. If I only looked at thread titles, I would miss 50% of the useful content I have found in the Bottlehead forum. A lot of information is embedded within threads that started out addressing something entirely different, and where the OP had long since dropped out of the conversation. But by using the search function, that information is available to (and findable by) all.
Best regards,
Adam
