Why are kite lines always so far off?

One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet.  A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites.  Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal.  1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.

Hey.. why all the bitching.. When I started flying you were lucky if the lines were within 3 feet of each other, and you had to create loops in the ends... knots would cut through..  I always take a new set (purchased, self made, pre-stretched, no stretch) attach it to a hard pulling kite and fly for 30 min, yanking left and right, looping, doing ground passes. Later at home I attach to a anchor point and equalize then...problem solved.

Since I don't expect them to be equal, or to stretch the same on each side then I don't worry about it.

That's my thought, If you need help making your own lines, or equalizing them I will gladly assist

Here we go...I remember when flying a kite used to be a rock on the end of a rope thrown off a cliff
