first/last - 13: Jarrett, Bill, dsimcha, Sandeep, Chad, Tiago, Robert, Simen, Brian, Bill, Yigal, Gide,  Ary.

head/toe - 9: Bill, dsimcha, Robert, Simen, Max, Don, Michel, Denis, Brian,

front/back - 15: dsimcha, Chad, Steve, Robert, Nick, BCS, Bill, BLS, Yigal, Daniel, Max, Don, Gide, Brian, Andrei.

head/last - 7: John, Chad, Sean, Nick, Yigal, Kazuhiro, Max.

There were other choices that were not as popular as the ones above, please don't be angry I didn't mention them all.

This vote was rather informal so I allowed myself to do a tally without having specified a deadline etc. So I'm not sure how much this all counts... should we just settle for front and back?

I'd be fine with front/back.  Not quite as nice as first/last, but it's better than head/toe.

I think head/toe is pretty neat, otherwise first/last.

front/back and first/last are both better than head/toe

front/back++ for me then.

We are programmers, and voting by counting messages manually?? Come on! :-)

Btw, I like head/last because it _isn't_ symmetrical and both 4 characters long. I'm the kind of programmer that lines up all my variable declerations, etc. Porbably because I do some design work now and then as well :-)

Anyway, I set this up in a minute (not that I knew the site, it's just the first google hit):

I can add more choises if needed, or Andrei could create his own poll or whatever.

Maybe he didn't count them manually ;-)

Are there two Bills? (See first/last).

Vote early and often!  That's my motto!
