(barring some sort of perfect, no yank taper which I have never in my entire life experienced) yank on!

So 'yankee' (or would that make you a 'yanker')... :P

Your life experience must be somewhat limited. Granted, you don't see pop proof placements on every route, but there are plenty of them out there... :roll:

If you feel you need to set it really hard:
*You need a longer runner.
or
*It is probably a s--- palcement and you should consider another option.
or
*You don't know your gear well enough to be climbing trad (safely).

I hate hanging, as a second, to bang out stoppers.

Concur. Obviously the voice of experience...

diffrent placements get set in diffrent ways, nuts are usually easly to clean reguardless. if you have trouble getting nuts out, you need to second on aid for a bit where every single nut has been set and bounce tested.
