Ahh... Here we have one. 10:00 (upright I assume :) ) Lots of guys swear
by this "just shy of straight up and down" vs  "just past high noon". On
the other hand I know very very many who swear by 1-2 oclock, combined
with a very consistant .. screwing inwards (tho it looks to me like they
are flagpoling in a very consisitant manner). I wonder if there is any
real hard evidence as to which position consitantly gives the best
results. Anyone want to bite on this ?
