Welcome to the world ;=)
You might not have noticed, but silly arguments seem to happen in every
group or community.

The top vs. bottom posting one (which has been raging for years, not
just here) reminds me of Swift's satire of Protestant vs, Catholic in
"Gulliver's Travels", where he describes the wars between those who prefer
to crack their eggs at the little or big end.
