Hi,
Once upon a time I was taught to wrap and 'crimp' so that the solder
joint did not take the physical strain of holding the conductors
together. In practice I found the same thing Walt did, it needs to be
easy unhitching wires. I never have any problems with wires that are
"tacked" on and not bent/crimped. I have had bent/crimped wires break
off where they were stressed at the bend.
Just my $5 worth. Two cents has been outmoded.
