Yeah, I read the article, but I still find it rather dubious how it
suggests that spreading the wires across the pins, will reduce crosstalk
significantly differently than just simply running the pairs next to
each other.  With one of the pin outs, the one starting from the middle
and spreading outputs, seems that it'd be the worst possible
configuration, to me.  Untwisting the pairs isn't a great way to reduce
crosstalk, nor would be overlapping half the pair across something else.
