Seating Strings: Putting it to Rest/Out of It's Misery

[William R. Monroe]

Gregor,

Quite simply the disadvantage to "seating strings" is that when one presses too hard on the strings, one creates deeper and deeper string groves/indentations in the bridge surface.

  Ric,
   
  in a posting you mentioned an article you wrote about that topic. Is it available online? I can´t follow that discussion because I can´t see any disadvantages of seating strings. Obviously the critical point is not to make an indentation in the bridge that is below the string line? I can´t figure out how that could happen. I never noticed any bad consequences of string seating.
