Oh dear.  I thought someone was argueing that they were easier to hit 
when they were to the far left.  My intention was to prove them wrong and

My personal belief is that RSI is gotten only be persons who try to sit 
so that they look like they are self-disciplined hard-workers.  I don't 
expect that to change unless I myself am inflicted with it.  ;)
