Is this a strange habit?

Whenever reading something on a computer, I will instinctively and repeatedly highlight it.

Does anyone else do this? Any other eccentricities of your own? Is this just a stupid excuse for a new thread?

Re: Is this a strange habit?

I do that when I'm trying to remember something or thinking about the particular point stated. I imagine it helps my concentration somehow (because I can't think why else I'd do it heh).
