How? If they're curled properly, they shouldn't snag your ankle. Also, they
should be taped too! Goes both ways....

Jon argued:
They will work themselves out if the tape comes off and if a line gets
snagged
and gets them to the inner ring

I disagree. Don't you keep watch on your tape and make sure it's not
unraveling? Also, what is this about ropes and lines shagging them? If
they're taped down, why would a rope or line do that? In over 25 years of
sailing, I've never seen that happen, and I have been gouged by straight
cotter pins...
