There are other reasons to avoid male/male plug-ins.


Double ended male adapters are not in any way "illegal", nor are they
in any way a "fire hazard". They can be used in ways that would
violate electrical codes, but that does not make them illegal, and
not everyone lives in areas with codes either.


Yeah, but what about the "immoral" claim?


A bit of a stretch (unless you are a lawyer) if you put one in a cord and
later someone gets hurt, are you morally responsible for their injury or
death?- Hide quoted text -
