[Vision2020] Reading Ease

[Tim Lohrmann]

Someone who followed DEAR ABBY and ANN LANDERS once told me that one of the sisters' columns, don't remember which, became embroiled in an earth-shattering controversy.
   
  Apparently some readers preferred their toilet paper roll put in the holder so that the end of the paper pulled out from underneath the roll. 
   
  Others were quite opposed. 
  They wrote back that over the roll was the only way!

Your answer makes perfect sense, except that I think that it occurs
because people have the discourtesy of leaving all of the other
replies appended when the bulk of them should be chopped, as I am
doing here. It really is a sensible system if people exercise it
properly. However, netiquette isn't anything they teach (yet) in
school, so everyone develops their own, often contradictory
approaches.
