Are UI developers all left handed?

[Alexandre Strube]

Perhaps you could, instead of resorting to offense, show, by
numbers/video/anything why you want something changed.

Seriously.

Most people here are quite protective of what they have, but no one is
stupid. Prove yourself right, and the world will go with you.

The first example was very anedoctal, and, to be honest, I didn't get the
point, being left-handed. I asked two colleagues of mine to read your
email, both left-handed as well, and no one understood your complain. So I
have an anedoctal fact of three left-handed who don't agree with you.

I should say that all of us, besides being left-handed, use the mouse on
the right hand. For different reasons, from VERY different cultural
backgrounds (brazilian, german, belarusian).

So, please, get calm, and explain better, and - if possible - prove - your
point. People WILL listen to you.
