I agree !

How depressing. :-(

Of course !
But, it's possible to drive more then one of these sharps with one output. And
shouldn't it be possible (without large effort) to use the input-power to
multiplex some of the GP2D12 ?
(AKAIK this input-power is 3ms high then 0.1ms low, right michael ?)
Could your MUX be used for that, Michael ??
