Hiya Fred- you may be missing the critical distinction between whang and wang.
Whang is that sound you get when you hit an anvil with a sledge. Your wang,
well, we won't discuss that here;-D
High heat makes sense - resistance goes up with temperature, so when things
are at their hottest, the connections are at their worst. Whooooaaaa.... almost
a Zen thing <LOL>
