 For the illiteratti among us, please explain the concept behind the 12 inch pigtails a bit more.  My takeaway from the article was that 12 inches of wire act as a "resistor" in series with the pin.  Would you not need to tailor each pigtail to attain the correct resistance?  Or, just by having this increased resistance, within a range, does it drive the pins to share current? 	


   Correct. And thank you for that question. I should

   have described that effect in the article. I've edited

   it to include that explanation.

   Not at all . . . in fact, you've spotlighted

   the need for further elaboration.
