- dating much?

:-)

- seriously though, i have the same problem and have had to be careful, selective, and attentive to bike fit, glove selection, and movement of hands during riding.. you'd be surprised how much of difference in stem length and seat fore/aft movement can make for hand comfort...

- i worked as a journalist in the industry from the transition from manual typewriters through the computer age, so believe me when i say that to me, the concept of ergonomics is a recent development...

:-(

- road bars are best as you can move around a bit... i had a bit of problems when first getting back into riding after a number of years, but over the past six months have been able to adjust, compensate and come up with comfort settings for two road bikes, two 'cross bikes, and a comfort bike (a different animal)...

- i hope you find a setting that works for you...
