Computing abounds with these sort of arbitrary choices
about which we construct religions and have delightful
flame wars (vi vs emacs). Jonathan Swift nailed it almost
300 years ago in Gulliver's Travels in which the Big Endians
were a political faction that broke their eggs at the large end
("the primitive way") and rebelled against the Lilliputian King
who required his subjects (the Little Endians) to break their
eggs at the small end.
So it goes,

PS. My pet peeve is LF vs CRLF vs CR.
PPS. How's that for a trim, now I am both top/and bottom posted ;)
