Hello, Ray, all

Well, I for one, DO use the line filters the way that they were designed
to be used (I do NOT run them backwards). I, like Ray, have heard of
many coilers wiring them backwards, but I've never really understood
why, myself, either. I, too, as a 15 year coiling veteran, would be inte-
rested in an explaination of why many coilers do this.
