I have heard that it is also best to avoid mixing RG-59 and RG-6 into and out of of connectors because of the different diameters of the center conductors of each. The thicker RG-6 center conductor can "stretch" the female parts of connectors so that they don't work as well when you put RG-59 back into them, and negatively impact signal transmission. Also, if the ends of center conductors are snipped so they become flattened (non-factory cutting), it can cause problems. Best to cut them so they come to a nice spear-like point, if possible. Rabbit has some nice example pictures which he may post.
