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. > I say, you can't even be expected or trusted to supply the expert > testimony on UI standards and design you've offered in the past---and > been taken up on!

I started to collect user testimonial on my ergonomic keybindings about few months ago.

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 =E2=80=9CHow Shall I Respond=E2=80=9D http://xahlee.org/Netiquette_dir/how_shall_i_respond.html ). In part, reply to most messages if not all. (see =E2=80=9CWhat I've Lear= ned By Conversational Styled Posts=E2=80=9D 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. Xah =E2=88=91 http://xahlee.org/ =E2=98=84
