has there ever been any discusion on this issue, of having a button on each page that sends me back to the top? i'd find it useful ('cause i'm lazy!)

I don't think there's really call for one is there? I certainly don't think so anyway. You can scroll to the top quickly by using your mouse or the side bar. That arguably takes no more effort than finding the go to top button.

The propsed button would be at the bottom wouldn't it? That'd mean in fact it was *more* effort getting to the top because you'd have to scroll down to get it if you weren't at the bottom.

Yeah. Your mouse hasn't got legs so it doesn't matter if it has to run very far.

I personally use my mouse very little. I prefer to use keyboard shortcuts, since it's generally easier on my hands and arms, and eases repetitive stress injuries. But one thing to remember is accessability, specifically the accessability of this site to people whomay not be able to use a mouse, or have limited ability to use one. Most browsers have a setting that allows you to hit the tab button to jump between links. This is one of the common reasons for adding a "home" or "top of page" link.

Then use Mr Fear's solution. Problem solved.
