Had he had the ability to set Auto Boost then this wouldn't have happened.
I seem to also recall an agent in Florida who lost power, internet, phone access, and everything after a Hurricane kinda wiped everything out. Had to recycle all his dots even though he got back on-line with a couple of weeks. Had he been able to set for Auto boost... just in case... then he could've saved himself a lot of flex/$.
I'm only asking for the ability. What you choose to do with it is up to you. Don't wanna use it? Fine. Don't like it? Fine... don't use it. But, for those of us that want the security blanket... just in case sh*t happens... I ask for it. I would use it but I would still do all my own boosting because it's the best/smartest way. But... just in case a storm took out my internet access, power, and closed my road (I live on a dead end road)... and it stayed that way for an extended period (such as this;
