And as with most computer-savvy people, we make heavy use of shortcuts and keystrokes to make our jobs easier, because apparently fannying about all day in comfortable chairs isn't easy enough for us limp-wristed chuckle-peddlers. LOL, looks like you guys could use a keyboard shortcut for not dying in a methane explosion, are we right?
