[Rhodes22-list] Turnbuckles

I don't get the premise of securing only one end of the turnbuckle.  There
is no invisible hand that turns the turnbuckle loose.

It is the constantly varying tension on the twisted strands of the shroud
that turn the turnbuckle loose.  Securing only one end just makes the loose
end loosen twice as fast, which is worse than doing nothing at all.
