Hey everyone--
I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm trying to minimize my spammi--err--lurking right now. I have tendonitis in my right hand (apparently from right-clicking the mouse - it's the tendon to the ring finger). I'm wearing a splint that immobilizes my wrist. It's getting better now - but really had me worried since my main thing I love to do (besides spa-err-lurk) is play classical piano.

I never thought I'd hear myself saying this in a million years, but hey...
Get a Mac. They only have one mouse button 
And of course I hope your wrist gets better soon - I know first-hand (har har) how bad RSI and related things can be...

......be sure to alternate ice and heat...20 minutes on and off each.
It really does help lesson tendon inflamation.

Well, if you can channel the Swirling Light Thingie, you can channel anything, BS. How about channeling Elvis, or Jack Daniels?
@Voo: I am sorry to hear this. Being denied the pleasure of playing the piano must suck royally. Having limited spam ability must suck even worse.  Perhaps there is some consolation in the fact that you might buy a ukelele, and join BS (psychically, of course ) in playing us a round or two of "Tiptoe Through the Tulips." You can fret those strings with little effort.

| Uh huh. I know how how repetetive that motion can be. Best to give the mouse a short rest no matter how much she demands attention.
Seriously, feel better. Get a nice ergonomic wireless pointer (not mouse.)
....I'm not sure the mouse would appreciate Scayde's ice idea, best avoit that one.

It is quite easy to use your nose or even chin to type(easier to do up/down buttons)
But you could get one of the head bands that have the stick on it...

::waves hand hypnotically in front of VoodooDali::
Go buy a trackball.

Hope you heal quickly.
