Dont be a dick, you know damn well that pretty much nobody actually LIKES that thumbshifter. everyone either hates it or is willing to deal with it because of the cost savings but nobody ever says "man, I really like that thumbshifter. My sample size is no less than 1000 posts on this forum alone. you will notice that I did say that on a functional level it works great; it's not necessarily going to break or wear out on someone any faster than the other offerings it's just that the ergonomics suck.
