"7 vital signs of a with-it manager from mars or venus (your choice)" books

agree" or "go ahead" as a top post with the entire thread retained.

Of course, anything to help their busy lives. (with <sarcasm>)

the same people also complain when I trim.

So its a combination of pathological behaviours, UI, and dominance behaviour

That should just be a function of where the UI software positions the cursor,
shouldn't it?
