exacly which lid? (Score 1)

There are typically two parts to the assembly fitted as a seat on modern residential toilets. These are the donut ring, and the lid. Both can be used as seats, although only the former whilst discharging bodily waste in a sanitary fashion. I've found that, for any given cross section of people who express a preference for toilet seat position, there will be no concensus on whether it is the donut seat or the lid to which they refer. Some will argue that it is the donut seat that concerns them, because it is "icky" to touch. Other will say that it is the lid, because the don't want the bowl to be on display. A better understanding of this important dichotomy is required. Perhaps the Slashdot community can apply for research grants from their various governments? ;o) Russell
