Not putting back the jumper? I have something which may help. Tell the
users to disconnect the whole T-connector, and leave it on the wire. I have
done this many times, and the net is just fine. They don't need to replace
the T with a straight thru barrel connector, which is what I think you mean
by "jumper". This practice may cut down on the amount of inexperienced
alteration of the physical characteristics of your net. :-)
