All of this is very interesting. I hadn't remembered the discussion about the:

Worm Fence

...so, thanks, AnnaS and Faldage, for the refresher course.
I like this fence! It looks very sturdy.

Jackie: Your photograph of the split-rail fence doesn't look like the ones I've seen here. Oh, the rails look split, but the ones I've seen haven't been quite that...tidy. Instead, the ones I've seen in the mountains have a more higglety-pigglety look to them. But yours is the closest to what I've seen here.

But the worm fence is such a cool thing to know about now! And, Faldage, I won't forget I've learned it this time if I've completely forgotten the other time--and that's always a possibility here!
