No, I've never learned to touch-type. I do a mixture of looking at the keyboard and the screen (I don't have to concentrate much on that as I spot typos and other issues easily), and I've just got faster over the years. In the 90s, I was at about 50+wpm, but now I can do about 100wpm on a good day. Mostly, it's ~85wpm or less, though. It obviously also depends on what type of document/forum post it is.
My verbosity is everywhere, not just in what I type. :)

Odd question: do you touch type and if so, how quickly?
I am in the process of learning to and am beginning to wonder if the profusivity of some online posters, versus their less verbose comrades, may be due to the ease with which the former can create prose.
