Hey, DeeBye,

Just out of curiosity, why did you feel compelled to repeatedly drag this thread off-topic?

Is there some reason you don't think discussing RSI's (Repetitive Stress Injuries) is appropriate on this forum?

For that matter, how come no one other than Munkay gave a serious reply?

Is no one here affected by RSI's? Or does no one want to discuss it because of the Ostrich Syndrome, i.e., if you acknowledge the possibility, it might happen? Ostriches stick their head in the sand for a reason, right? :D

Or maybe, discussing it is percieved as a 'whiny' activity, and 'Real Men' don't complain?

Or maybe those who do have RSI's due to excessive gaming are too embarrassed to admit their stupidity? ;)

I started a serious reply to the original poster last night, but ran out of time and energy before I finished it, so thought I would come back today to do so.

However, if no one here gives a #$%&, why should I bother?

As a somewhat 'mature gamer' [52] who has had their gaming experience seriously adversely affected by an RSI, due to excessive mouse-clicking while playing games, I think this is something that should be discussed here (and elsewhere on the net), but hey, I'm not the type to shout into the wind... I'm not going to waste keystrokes that aggravate my already over-stressed hands if no one cares. In fact, I probably won't bother to reply, regardless of any response(s) to this post. I just don't spend that much time on the 'net anymore.

Anyway, I was just surprised that there was so little serious response to the original post, which I thought deserved lots of discussion. But, maybe it's been done to death elsewhere...?

Oh well, I'm out of here.

Regards,

Dako-ta
