I appreciate all the comments and responses, even the stories! Vaughn, I don't think I have ever been off by an entire floor, although it came close in DC.
I thought about CA glue, but my very first thought after that was the way things go around here, I would test it and it would stick in the ON position. I am glad to see I am not the only one who thinks like that.
I think I am going to disassemble it and see if I can disconnect the contacts with tape or something. I came close to disassembling it with the hammer the other day, but that would have only made me feel better for a little while.
