I heartily agree. Please, Cotw, don't juice my readings! If all you can
do is a linear correction, or on all directions, I say forget it. I can
mentally correct for direction and magnitude. Don't change the sensors
current calibration and mess up mine! It'll take me a whole season to
get used to the new settings.

Thanks.
