You have to learn to touch type. You will easily quadruple
your posting speed and number. You can also think while you type,
because you don't have to look at the keyboard. I don't even know
where the letters on the keyboard are, but I can still type
out the words. It becomes a reflex, It is weird!! I think
 On yahoo games there is a program called typershark which you can use
to increase your speed. It is slow going at first, but
after about a month or two of practice you will be up to
3-40 wpm. When you type on the internet your speed will increase
quickly because in essence you will be continuosly practicing. I'll
look forward to seeing the increased # of postings soon!
Be careful of one thing though. When you touch type you are
more likely to type what you are thinking instead of what
you mean (freudian slip) so read everything twice before
you post it.
