8/24    On the back of an outlet there are 4 holes for wires to go in.
        Typically i've seen the white wire on the right and the black
        wire on the left (if you are staring at the back).
        Does the top/bottom matter or are they just redundant holes
        \_they're not redundant if you use them...
          \_ ahh, i see.  It is so you can double the power supply.
             (or draw power from two circuits or whatever)
             but they both feed to the same place right (i lamely do not
             have a voltometer)? If i put the left one in the top and the
             right in the bottom that will not cause any problems. correct?
