Nick originally referred to supply being service cable - was pointing out it was not.
Here is the quote from me. It was post #9.

Which certainly seems to say that the 6 throws does not matter.
Here is a quote from you which was post #6.

Now who was trying to say it applied?
Now lets talk about this.

You said there was no such animal as the 6 throw rule, not that it didn't apply.

I know flip-flops are popular in Florida but I thought they were footwear.
I also explained about the deleted post. I had initially posted almost the same thing as I eventually posted in post #9. I deleted it within about one minute of posting it. It was not posted long enough to change the direction of anything that has been discussed. I removed it to avoid bringing up the possiblity that this was non-service. Because Rick asked I answered.
