Tim: >> typing. There's too much gross hand movement - you cannot do it fast. > Ed Greshko: > You can't, I can. I would challenge anybody to prove that they can move their whole forearms, wrists and hands, into a new position, quicker than moving a couple of fingers. It's a physical impossibility. And I don't just mean humanly physically impossibly, I mean physics. Large objects versus small objects with inertia to work against. Likewise, for hunt and peck. Individual abilities aside, you're never going to see a two-fingered typist, hunt and peck or otherwise, beat a touch typist using all 10 fingers at 100 wpm. It's another physical impossibility. As to topic drift, that's why we have threading and subject lines. I've changed the subject line, but don't have a client that lets me break the references headers (it's been a while since I've seen one that lets you manually do such things). And only those desiring to participate actually do so...
