Well, I find that most C programs nowadays are written backwards :
main() on top and functions below. Having learned C from K&R, that's
backwards for me.
But the point is : I put up with it. No whining and no expectations
that everyone will want to follow my preferences.
Tolerance, dude. There's too much intolerance out there in the world
today already.
