In summary, the conversation discusses the topic of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) and whether or not sitting all day long and doing the same movement repeatedly can lead to it. The article in question is doubted for its accuracy, but one person shares their personal experience of knowing someone with RSI caused by using a mouse with the wrong hand. The conversation concludes with the acknowledgement that the article is useful to read, even though the person has not personally met anyone with RSI but knows several gay males who have.

The key is that you sometimes sit all day long, RSI occurs when you do the same movement over and over again, aggravated by a wrong posture. I knew a girl who was always was using the mouse in her left hand, so I thought she was a lefty, turned out she had problems using her right hand/arm due to RSI and was seeing a physiotherapist for it.

I find it useful, very useful article to read, although I never meet anyone who has RSI, instead I have talked to quite a lot of gay males. Some of them are even my wife's best friends.
