Not if you tin the wires first.

Still wrong, I'm afraid. It helps but won't alleviate the problems.

Then explain how I was able to solder *three* #12 wires with just my
little 30-watt soldering iron. Did it just last night. Of course, I
made sure the tip was clean (using my trusty damp sponge in a tray),
and tinned the tip well before soldering. That's the key: if I don't
melt a little blob of solder on the tip before soldering the wire, I
can't do it at all.

Sorry, it's your responsibility you assumed to explain things, not mine. A
lot of jobs can be accomplished using improper and incorrect tools: If
that's how you do things, then more power to you. If you're simply being a
silly purist, then to hell with you. I said it wouldn't alleviate the
problems, and it won't. But that's all I said. You've proven nothing, but
I didn't ask you to prove anything, and I could prove the opposite just as
easily; probably easier. But that's sideways to any points I made but which
you seem to want to become confrontational about. I believe in reality,
not in ****ing contests and purist applications of crap.

Sorry; just off the top of my head here. Feel however you wish; I'm done
with your illogic.

Logic, schmogic: I simply *did something* that you claimed was not
possible, and asked you for an explantion. No "purist" about it (maybe
you're the purist here, but I'm sure as hell not).

And while we're not on the subject, just what is that with the backquote
(`) after your name? Is there a story there?
