Simply because you come across as extremely arrogant in your posts as if you're the only person vaguely experienced or qualified to discuss such matters. The fact that you have no formal qualifications and are an amateur playing professional says it all.

Simply because your post needed clarification. You stated: Somewhat over cautious, IMO, as there must be 10's of thousands of older APs out there that need to seatalk "network" powered up for the AP to work. As I said - that's irrelevant as when properly installed the course computer (which is...

It's still there. One of nice things were the fact they were on shafts so having outdrives always seemed odd to me.

Solder connectors & heatshrink just require a heatgun. Even with postage the Wago connectors are still cheaper on eBay than Toolstation but if that's your preference so be it.
