For short cables it makes sense, but you would never go and buy sets of 100 ft + cables, you buy a spool.

Nah, don't pull a new cable. When you first install the cable, terminate on a proper RJ-45 jack. Install a wall plate.
Then, when something goes bad, odds are you just plug in a new patch cord between the wall jack and the device.
On the off chance someone puts a nail through a cable, you're pulling again anyway.
You -did- pull in a pull string the first time, right? ;)

If the cable is bad it is the pullstring.

Good point. Every time I've tried that in the past, it ends up being taped in a bundle. Its gotta be a subset of Murphy's law or something.
