Good grief Ries!

It's a standing joke; poked at folk who take arbitrary 
"Right" answers, seriously. Years ago, right after I 
went online, I got into a similar "holy" war: Top 
rollers vs. Bottom rollers and had a blast prosecuting 
the heathen, satan spawned opposition for weeks.

Of course we all KNOW anyone who'd hang a roll of 
toilet paper so the end is at the bottom. <GASP!!!!!> 
Is an unclean heathen, bound for crusted, sticky, 
stinky, nether regions at demon speed! Bottom Rolling 
IS the One and Only True, Right Path to Clean Bottomed 
Wholesome Living.

Though I must admit you treat anvil alignment pretty 
much as I do.

<grin>
