[TheForge] Anvil Orientation (seriously)

Seriously, now.

When Frosty said he didn't care which way I pointed my anvil I kinda
wondered which way was right. I have always pointed the horn away from
my hammer hand and toward the forge because I find I can hammer back
against the step easily if I need to and back into the curve of the
horn, and if I'm working on a curve or drawing a blade over the horn
I'm closer to the heat, not a step farther away. I know most people do
it the other way but I've never known if there was a real good reason
for it. Anyone know beyond preference?
