- Sorry, not entirely true. We Brits drive on the left, and most of us write
- email addresses from the left (e.g. armltd.co.uk). It's really quite
- consistent... Unfortunately, there seem to quite a lot of people around, who
- for some odd reason use left for some things and right for others. These
- include many Europeans and Americans, who drive on the right and write email
- addresses from the left, and the British JANET (Joint Academic NETwork, I
- believe) designers who write email addresses from the right and (hopefully
- :-) drive on the left.

- Note for the humour-impaired: :-) :-) :-)
