Thoughts? Given that the resistance of the plug (about 1 ohm hot) is much more than the resistance of the wiring, his statement is correct. In actuality, the plug with the two wires will be getting slightly higher voltage than the others -- if all the wires are the same length. If the lengths are very much different, it's up for grabs what the effect will be. Don't loose sleep over it. Craig
