Ditto. I am also a big fan of Mr. Koenig.

I gave in, and I tried thumbs forward... and noticed a drastic improvement. Well, im sticking with it! Sometimes, i can just be too stubborn.
Funny thing is, it feels more natural... it was easy to get used to it. You would think years of muscle memory would be hard to kill, but not so.
