Dear Ann Landers,
remember only too well the international controversy that resulted when you printed various views on whether the toilet tissue should go over the roll or straight down, next to the wall. I certainly don't want to start anything like that again. But-I do have a similar problem that has bothered me for years. Please tell me what you think. Should the lid of the toilet be left up or down? Please note I'm not referring to the toilet seat, it's the lid I am talking about. In my opinion, the purpose of the lid is to keep it closed when the commode is not in use. I can't understand why otherwise fastidious people ignore this reasoning and keep the lid up. Please comment. -Faithful Ann Fan
