Precisely.

I think, people who are not convinced that this is a significant impediment
might try it for themselves. Take a list of 50 addresses and paste them in,
one by one, and make a note of how many you had done at the first moment
you thought, "This is crazy" or "Wow, that's kind of annoying."

I'm guessing that number will be about 5.

Yes, I think so.

I'm in the middle of my work week, so it's unlikely I'll be able to get to
the other points very soon. Thanks for the replies.
