Just because you prefer a screen, it doesn't mean that everybody else should -- some prolific readers are tactile readers, too. Get over it. The level of arrogance in this thread is a disgusting picture of this forum...
This, coupled with the obvious lack of reading comprehension when people answer basic questions in threads, makes me very, very doubtful of my decision to join. You're folks who can't see the forest for the trees, and half of you seem to think the trees are shrubs, anyway. *shakes head*

Hmmm... I won't categorize your lack of reading comprehension and inability to differentiate between different opinions and posters by your age, although it is tempting I must admit. Lumping everyone together, criticizing en masse without any examples or basis or distinguishing criteria other than 'earlier posters' probably seems pretty disgustingly arrogant in itself even to you
