Bwahaha! I just click on an interesting thread, then hit my middle mouse button/mouse wheel, and move the cursor down a hair so the page slowly scrolls on its own! By the time I'm done reading a post, the next one is coming into view! AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I do that too, sometimes.

Autoscrolling is the spawn of Satan. Or, in this case, Microsoft.

(I hope I'm not the only one who absolutely fucking hates the idea...)

When someone literally gets too lazy to move one finger, we have a problem.

In my day, we were grateful to have scroll bars, damnit! None of these pansy scroll wheels kids have today, and we liked it.

I have always used a scroll wheel. How else do you do it?

The little arrow keys help for those without mouse wheels.

I have a scroll wheel on my mouse. It's less frustrating than using an arrow or clicking the down arrow on the screen. Whenever I'm using one of the school computers and the scroll wheel isn't there, I feel like something is missing.

Still, I don't do it because I'm that lazy. I do it because I'm that lazy when I'm posting here.

I like spinning the little wheel. Wheeee.

Scroll wheels & buttons kick ass, it makes reading long pages so much easier. No longer do I have to use a scrollbar or the pagedown buttons when with one simple motion I can make a page auto-scroll at a perfect reading speed. It's great for reading threads on message boards or going through huge 100kB articles on various websites.

I mapped "page-down" to a button on my trackball, and that's how I browse threads.

Have a very nice day.

Wheel mice. I don't have one of those, and I don't need one. The arrows keys on the keyboard do the job just fine.
