Mary, I can see what you're saying and agree with you. I was only thinking of the second rotor to try to separate things but that would only half solve the problem because I do find it quite tiring! :-) Okay, I'm going to keep thinking about it and do appreciate all the feedback I've had so far.

I read the message, the first one, but missed the fact that two actual rotors were apparently being suggested. That would be a problem and wouldn't solve the twist problem that some people have. That gesture is the hardest one for people coming to iOS, just like the right angles are the hardest for people coming to android.
