Stop taking every comment personally, Bruce. The simple fact is that APH has
already stated in the documentation that adding this _would_ increase price
and complexity and most of us do not see this as a high priority,
particularly given that one solution (that provided by Aman Singer) already
exists. You remind many of us of another former list member who took
personally every disagreement about so-called "improvements" and he wasn't
any more in line than you are in doing so. Change does not equate to
improvement, as others have previously stated. An improvement is only an
improvement if a user believes it to be and since this _is_ purely a matter
of belief, any suggestions are subject to open discussion without the fear
that the person making the original suggestion is going to turn sulky and
sarcastic the way you have. The operative phrase is "lighten up."

Oh come on, people. Everything doesn't increase the size of the device.
Look at the Audible Otis. It had facility for an AC adaptor and was much
smaller than the BP. All I'm saying is don't just assume everything's
going to increase the size of the unit before you know. That way madness
lies, because ideas are rejected before they're even looked at.
