Just wanted to inform you that WiFi in new iOS 11 keeps turning on

It DOES drain the battery. Do a test to demonstrate that fact - leave Bluetooth on for 7000 years and then check your battery level.

I am apparently displaying lots of agressivity today.
Agressivity?
Indeed. Upon reading the email, I went and slapped myself, just for good measure! :-)
