As someone with hand motor problems, I can tell you it's a non-insignificant setback for me. And I'm not the only one.

I don't mind the cap being captive. Actually, it's even kind of handy when trying to take a swig from a bottle one-handed while riding my bike.

The problem is, the retainer creates friction when unscrewing the cap.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
