Welcome back to it

Since my actual point is being ignored or forgotten, let me remind:

I am willing to extrapolate that others have similar opinions.
I do get a little ticked at the folks who make observations of their own preferences and use them to conclude (or presumptuously state, at least) that their preferred way is objectively superior. News for you: you're wrong.

I'd also warn that people be careful in how they take buying advice from folks (and, btw, I don't think I talking about Astra here, as far as I can recall) who say stuff like "Swiping is obviously superior and people who say they like buttons have never tried a good touch screen."
Interesting to see the current poll results, BTW.

If what you say is true, Astra, surely you can understand why all the counterpoints of "No, touch is better and no sensible person can think otherwise" are...frustrating?
But, as you say, it's somewhat pointless to keep repeating it. If the other side (the 'other side' being "no, touch is always better and I will ignore all evidence that non-touch has value") wants to make the case by sheer repetition, I guess there is no point in playing along.
