String splicing

[Newton Hunt]

Hi Paul,

(long time no talk)

Yes, the "square" knot is easier but it takes a little more
wire of both pieces to make.  Of course we are creatures of
habit (good and bad) and tend to like what we were taught. 
(sigh)  I wish I was wise enough to tell the difference.

I hope you are having a great weekend.
