Scroll right? In a world where literally everyone else scrolls down ?

Your post and the ensuing thread is a great example of why this made it into the guidelines. An interesting article, but over half the comments are a discussion about the page's format. 1/4 (at the time I submit this) of the comments are yours, and they add no value to the conversation.

Same category as tablets and smartphones my friend.
How about the billions of other internet users who have a keyboard and mouse ? At least make it keyboard tap or mouse-click friendly !
