And another thing...

...how long did you have to search to find a handle so hideously difficult to type as "SDAITech1"? I mean, that's why I use "Techie", just to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome!

The little pinkie of my left hand has to hold down the Shift key while I splay the rest of my hand so my third finger can press "S" and my middle finger type "D", then I shift the third finger back to hit "A". There's no rest while my right hand reaches for the "I", because my left pinkie is still holding down the Shift key while my index finger is beginning to stretch to hit the "T", ending up with my left hand splayed as wide as possible across the keyboard.

But do I get any rest when we go to lowercase? Noooooo...my left middle finger gets to flick up to hit the "e' then all the way down to the bottom row for the "c". Right hand gets the easy "h", but then the left has to swivel at the wrist and elbow to bring the pinkie around to hit that final "1".

Half the time I mess up the capitalization and have to revise it. When I know I'm going to be using the name a lot in a post, I copy it to the clipboard. Otherwise I couldn't finish a post like the rant below before my hands cramped up.

Did you spend hours trying out names on the keyboard to find the one that's maximally inconvenient to type? Are you, in real life, an osteopath drumming up business?

Thank you for attention to this matter.
