I simply asked if you were serious, or if you were musing about the possibilty. Simple question - no attack, no insult.

I never said "have you gotten so lazy." I said "have WE gotten so lazy that we can't push a button to turn a page?" That was a rhetorical question with the pronoun WE used in place of any of the following words: people, human beings, mankind, readers, the populace at large, any group of sentient beings in general. I never pointed the finger and I never said YOU.


I'm not mad at you at all, it just seemed like you were one of those older people who shoot first and ask questions latter, by your comment.


And what does this mean exactly? That sounds personal, like I should be offended, but I will not take it that way, even if that was your intent.

So I fleshed it out a little and gave ways that it could be a good feature to have. I'm not saying I'm gonna use it all the time, but just something I could use in some situations.


I agree , no need to argue over this, maybe read your first comment again and see if you can understand how I might have taken it as either " I'm crazy to bring up the idea" or "I'm too lazy to turn pages with my finger" could maybe be misunderstood to be an insult.


I did read my comment again. Maybe you should read it again as well and try to figure out why you interpreted my comment to be a personal affront to you, and why you see words I did not write.


You might not see it because that's just your way, and you treat everybody like that, and wonder how people could take offense at your writing style.


Treat everybody like WHAT? And what is MY WAY?

I apologize once more, for I didn't realize I had such an offensive writing style that translates to personal attacks on others' sensitivities when giving my personal views. I will try to refrain from giving any further personal opinions to any questions you may pose in the future.


In either case, it doesn't sound like something you would use, but I would find it useful, also, there is another thread with someone making a device to do this, but I was hoping soft-mod method could be found.

That's all I was saying, after all.

I think you need a hug and a Happy Meal my friend.
