OK, thanks.

I'm not really sure, but I read it and it kind of makes sense.  If you can
avoid a slightly awkward hand position by using two hands instead of one,
I could see that would probably help.

I do it all the time too, but my wrists are starting to hurt in my old age,
so I want to try something different.  Of course I can try it without having
the operating system enforce it, but old habits die hard.
