I think you're right, Denny, thanks for straightening me out. The semantics of "dropped links" has always baffled me, especially since manufacturers can (and do) put different numbers of links in their chains, and the number of slack links has no bearing on anything.

You are right - 5 or 6 or 7 links under tension is great. No groans! Sorry, Bob.
