Why, thank you Paul for that compliment!

Russell respondes to the criticism:

a) I don't love my battery, I reserve that emotion for living things;

b) (completely ignorant) is this hurting the battery somehow? if so,
   please explain;

c) but... i want to see how machine activity affects power consumption
   and finer granularity is better for that; and 

d) it's easier to type everytime without that option. ;-)
