I agree. However I really enjoy the freedom of being hands free with just the strap around my neck. And I feel it is safer carried in front of me instead of the side where it could be snatched easier. I just get used to carrying less "stuff" when possible. I have even purchased a smaller purse with the long neck strap for short trips to the store or when on vacations & I don't need to carry so much "stuff". I still keep the larger purses for carrying lots of my "stuff" when needed. Really enjoy all your segments-keep up the great work!
