First off, don’t blame me for the subject line, I just copied and pasted what I got from the List Serv ?????  What’s up with that ?  Meanwhile back to the subject at hand.
Just because Westfalia did it does not make it right !  Westfalia did a lot of things that I consider quite not right !  I understand your point, but one must still get the two ends of the zipper together to get it started to zip.  Let me see you do that at 3 am after a few rounds of Tequila !  It’s dark up there unless YOU installed a light, Westfalia did not provide lighting up there, remember ?  It’s a blind man’s perfect opportunity to show off !
