I see what you are saying and it is going to force some to cheat. Not me. I am going to prove what I am saying. It is easy. I will find an eol they might kick back and store the picture then replace all connectors and taps in the run from the last active. then take the new picture and there won't be too much difference, if any. Even still I have no intention of changing every connector to every eol. That is what they hired splicers for. It still goes back to how much they want to spend. Soon they will be complaining they want perfect pictures without changing out the connectors. I have seen this happen in Alaska.
