do you think the merrycan way of switching with down off is more
sensibubble that what we do in the uk ?

I know it is harder to accidentally knock things up than down ......or is
there another reason?

Not convinced that there ever was a rational reason.

When something can be done two ways, you can be sure
some will choose to do it one way and some the other
way. Same with the side of the road you drive on and
dave the sot's story about swords is just plain troll****.
