Right Hand Privilege Is Wrong is now part of On Hand Comments

 The contents of Right Hand Privilege Is Wrong have been merged into On Hand Comments. I did this partly because it's easier to devote my efforts towards a single blog, and because there's not enough subject matter for a left handed blog.  That's not to say there isn't a lot to talk about, because you will definitely be reading it.
