If you're unsubbing anyway then flouncing with a monstrous emission could be a little satisfying?

Well, it might... If I had ever posted a single comment on any project at all since I joined. But since I have not... Flouncing only works if people knew you were even in the room up until that point. So anything I say now would most likely be dismissed with some version of: "Man! these crips have no sense of humor, do they?"

As for the foot propelling: makes total sense to me, if you still have voluntary control of your legs (which I do not have), and the only thing that makes walking difficult is weight bearing and/or balance staying vertical. Leg muscles are larger and more efficient than arm muscles, and foot-propelling keeps your hands off your wheels, so keeps your hands clean.

And yes, re: smaller envelope.

Also: quicker escape. It's one thing to demonstrate to an OT in the wheelchair showroom that you are capable of bending down, lifting your feet off the footrests and swinging them out of the way, in order to transfer out of the chair. It's another thing entirely to do it with a full bladder in a fast food restaurant's badly-designed bathroom stall after you've been on the road for 3 hours ....
