Just a bit. :icon_lol:

Actually, it never really hurts to draw a schematic differently than the way one is used to.  Sometimes the canonical schematic format can have too strong an influence on our thinking, a bit like the way you get used to looking at a map a certain way.  Once in a while you have to look at Italy in a way that it doesn't look like a boot. :icon_wink:

How about this one.  It is an attempt to get both diode to ground and diode in the fbl at the same time.   :icon_cool:
