Since it takes effort to disable basic navigational aids like focus
rectangles, I'm not sure you're not already wasting your time.

[Giggle] Lots of people, average and otherwise, have a mouse. Just some
of us have learned we're a hell of a lot faster without it. Moving the
hand from keyboard to mouse, dragging mouse around, moving hand back to
keyboard and repositioning it, etc., takes a lot of time. If you don't
believe that, you don't spend enough time _working_ at a keyboard to
know.

The folks whose opinions you're writing off are probably the ones who
could code circles around you, HTML or otherwise. They're not the
incapable ones: you are.

Take a deep breath, let go of some defensiveness, and consider that some
folks here might actually know something that you don't.
