   This is not the Internet, sir; it's called Usenet. Please cease and desist   
   and stop trying to change the topic from keyboard vs. mouse to GinTwo and   
   GUI's.   
      
   This is now your second demerit.  Care to try for a third?   
      
   --   
   All of Usenet is in a psychological, emotional, and antisocial free fall   
   into an abyss and fully immersed in a drowning pool of mental illness.
