Gratuitous poll

[pne]

Somewhere, I read where someone talks about people thanking their mentors for trivial things when they write papers in university -- something along the lines of "and thanks for Professor Smith, whose seminal work on whether toilet paper should hang from the front or the back of the roll made such a difference", or the like.

Which made me think -- what do you prefer? Do you even have a preference?
