Weld tool and explode casues fragments

[rhankc]

I am a BIG fan of the Weld tool. Use it all the time on topos.
Sometimes the 2 selections after (close loop, and make faces) initiate even when i select NO after the weld. No Prob, but to erase the closed loop, i have to explode the loop, this breaks the line into many small segments. The situation is that the weld wont work on that batch of selected all connected lines again. I have found a work around by select all connected and copying the line and pasting it back. This is not a consistent fix though.
Has anyone found another way to work through this.
thx
