Carpal Tunnel

    So I noticed that creed's title is carpal tunnel. Wondering what carpal tunnel was I went to look it up and found out it this:

    <ul type="square">Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, a painful and disabling disorder characterized by inflammation and swelling in the tendons that run through the narrow carpal tunnel in the wrist, and one of the most common of repetitive stress injury. Numbness, tingling, and pain in the base of the thumb and the first three fingers results from the compression of a nerve that shares the carpal tunnel. The syndrome, categorized by the World Health Organization as a work-related musculoskeletal disorder, is caused by excessive and unrelieved repetition of movements that in themselves appear innocuous, such as cutting meat or typing on a computer keyboard. In addition to high frequency of repetition and lack of rest periods, factors that increase risk of hand-wrist damage include awkward or unnatural working posture, use of excessive force in performing a task, and emotional stress.

    Carpal tunnel syndrome, one of the cumulative trauma disorders reportedly responsible for 30 to 40 percent of worker's compensation claims in the early 1990s, afflicts burgeoning numbers of office workers. Almost half of all carpal tunnel syndrome cases result in 31 days or more of work loss in the United States. The field of health care responded to this affliction with hand clinics designed to rehabilitate disabled workers. Treatment includes rest, exercises, wrist splints, anti-inflammatory medications, learning stress-reducing movement techniques, making adjustments to the individual's workstation, and surgery to reduce pressure on the afflicted nerve.

    Nah; the names weren't thought up by VFers; they came with the forum. I guess the makers of the forum layouts thought that anyone with so many posts must be suffering from the syndrome due to so much typing.

    actually the titles did not come with the forum, other ubb.thread forums have different titles~ so myke could add more titles in if he wanted to do so.

    In fact, they did come with the forum; the two points you make above do not contradict one another: just because other ubb.thread forums use different titles does not mean VFDC must do likewise.

    Not that any of this actually matters /versus/images/icons/cool.gif
