Have you ever considered of mousing ambidextrously?

I never understood why people switch mouse buttons.  I'm left handed, so I 
put the mouse on the left side of my keyboard.  It never occurred to me to 
flip the buttons around.

When somebody right handed sits down at my keyboard, I often see them 
trying to avoid using the mouse (using arrow keys, control keys, anything 
to avoid mousing).  I just pick up the mouse and move it over to the right 
side for them, and then they often say, "But, the buttons are backwards 
now".  Apparently most right handers *expect* that I, as a sinister mouse 
user, have changed the buttons.  Why?

Of course, I grew up (and still prefer) the Mac, where there *is* only one 
button.
