Network edges splitting unexpectedly

I'm altering network edge (SimpleEdgeFeature) geometry within a tool.  Occasionally an edge between junctions A and B will pass through junction C.  When I store this change, Arc breaks edge A-B into two edges, A-C and C-B.  This is undesirable behavior for my application.  Is there any way to override this behavior, aside from running a Dissolve operation after each set of geometry changes?

Thanks so much!

Does anybody know why this might be the default behavior of Arc?  I'm not positive why this is, though I assume it's because the designers guessed that users adding network nodes landing in the middle of an edge would want that edge to pass through the node.

You know, on second thought that does make sense as a default assumption.  However, does no one know of a way of overriding this?

Much obliged,
