    ...I'm sure. To someone, anyway... :D

    Still, it IS interesting stuff. The only thing I disagree with is the advice NOT to buy backup batteries for later use. Sure, they may not work as effeciently or as long as a battery in use, but if your battery suddenly craps out, and it is entirely possible, what would you rather have: an older, less effecient battery? Or nothing?

    The way I read it (we know how that goes...) they are talking tothose who buy batteries and let them sit for a year or two. We both know working pros will have three or four sets of freshly charged batteries, and they'll use the in rotation. THose are not the people they are talking to I don't think. Basically, they're saying don't buy more than you'll use, you are potentially wasting your money.
