I don't know what you getting at, man.

Maybe ur trying to be poetic or allude to something, but sorry i don't
have time to dig, and consider the quality of most posts, its not
worthwhile to dig.

Huh? Sorry but i didn't understand your English.

I started to collect user testimonial on my ergonomic keybindings
about few months ago. Here's the page:

Sure thing.

PS To some of you who posted in this thread, possibly i have replied
and you found my reply to be rude or terse. Sorry about that. There
are so many drivels in this thread, intentional or not. Since about 4
or 5 months ago i decided to take a conversational styled newsgroup
mannerism (see “How Shall I Respond”
http://xahlee.org/Netiquette_dir/how_shall_i_respond.html
). In part, reply to most messages if not all. (see “What I've Learned
By Conversational Styled Posts”
http://xahlee.org/Netiquette_dir/chat_style_posts.html )
So, i end up like having a lot low quality or intentional insulting
messages to reply to. In the process, perhaps some sincere ones got
misunderstood.
