Jeez, and I thought I was the only one putting PL-259's on twice.

When ever someone asked why I pulled the connector apart again, my 
basic reply was:

 "It just didn't look right, so I'm making sure its ok this time!"

Just make sure you "hide" the outer shell in your hand while pulling the
connector apart, so they won't see it sitting on the bench.....
