Yes, because they are right in the middle of the alphabet. Such fence sitting should be abolished in debate.

On keyboards that I have seen that are 5+ years old the most common wear is the home row... but that actually makes sense whereas none of the posters in this thread have typical wear patterns on their keyboards.

Palynka uses a different home row from me. It is also likely that some of the posters here do not touch type (and thus do not have a home row).
One must also take into account computer usage patterns. My computers are used for games almost as much as for typing.

Don't see the problem, I have two HP comps controlled by one keyboard via a data switch and the keyboard is used by at least 4 family members all hours of the night and has been for several years with no loss of letter quality.

I see your point. Everybody in my family and that I know rest their fingers asdfjkl;

I believe the wear comes mostly from finger perspiration than actual usage.
