Now that I've read carbonman's post on the ramifications of all this, I would like to withdraw my previous answer to the poll. Does anyone know how I can do that?

Yes - just keep your mouth shut. No one wants to hear your paranoid, ignorant opinions anyway. Try it again and I will send in the backroom boys to slander you with eggs and tomatoes.

Isn't it great to have so many of those on this board? Left handed, right handed, ambidextrous, Resmed-ers, Respronics'ers , PB-ers... some community we've got here!

I'm curious to see if the results of the poll will ultimately bear out the statistics that claim that 15% of the population is "left-handed".

It is a well known and scientifically accept fact that the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body.

Therefore, it is also scientific fact that those of us who are left handed are the only ones in the "right minds."

Famous Lefthanded People:
J Edgar
Ramses II
Josepheine (Napoleon's wife)
Tiberius Casear
Aristotle
Queen VIctoria
King Louis XVI
Samuel Adams
George W Bush
Thomas Jefferson
John F. Kennedy
J Edgar Hoover
Herbert Hoover
Ronald Reagan
Ben Franklin
Gerald Ford
Fidel Castro
Joan of Arc
Micahelangelo
Paul McCartney
Peter Jennings
Henry Ford
Bill Gates

And the list goes on...

I am proud to be a "sinister" left handed person.
