	True.  Also I might add that anvil orientation to the smith isn't a 
static thing.  One thing I learned to do was to dance all around the 
anvil as need dictates in order to accomplish any given task.  I 
wondered about this until I spoke with Peter Ross about it and he said 
that I was dead on.  You do what you need to do to get the job done in 
the safest and most efficient manner possible.  As is so in life, nearly 
nothing is carved in stone in the smithy.
