Every Christmas when I hang my lights I seal all male/female

objects to doing this.

I object. Please don't do that anymore.

**kidding** I do it too.


I don't object but then I don't see the point in doing it either. I
haven't done it ever (over 30 years), put out lots of lights in the
past, have had them up for a month, never had a short. Looks like
wasted time/effort and make a mess pulling them down.
