[CAUT] Wire Stretch

[RicB]

Hmm.. yes... all this reminds me of a discussion a couple years back 
between Ron and John Hartman.  And I think I see at least Rons point 
here.  I'm going to have to dig up that thread and see if I can figure 
out why John does what he does then.... which seemed clearly different.  
Obviously, already voiced on this thread... there are some very 
different approaches and perspectives applied.

        It doesn't as far as downbearing force matters. It seems
        you're quite clear on it, which is why I describe bearing in
        degrees instead of bridge height offset or some undefined
        linear measurement.

        It wouldn't.
