But if you had put your response first I wouldn't have had to scan thru
Ken's posting I had already seen to find your gem!  

I vote we hang people inwards who hang toilet paper rolls inwards.  It
should come over the top -- note how designs on paper towels are
printed.

As you can see, I delete all the "fluff" at the bottom and separate my 
reply with a line.

Now what about people who put up toilet rolls facing inwards?
