As a new user I have fallen foul of this on numerous occasions, but I'm 
not sure that the opposite behaviour would be any better. It would be 
an extra left click to continue the net as opposed to an extra right 
click to end it. You would end up having to go back to the net to 
re-select it. At least with the right click you don't have to position 
the mouse accurately first.

It's like the difference between Vero-wire and wire-wrap. Both have 
advantages.

If this is more of a pain with L nets than without for some reason, 
maybe we should consider why, and fix that.
