Hi rustyp, your post reminded me of a discussion here on TOTV, months ago:

Which way should the screws in electrical plates be turned? Should they be horizontal or vertical? You might want to check yours while you are cataloging those light bulbs.

I had never thought about the turning of the screw before, but I soon learned that opinions are definite and opposing.

As I thought it through, I realized that willy-nilly screws are fine with me, as long as the switchplates stay on the wall.

Even though, at that time, nobody called me names for that liberal thinking, I bet if the screw direction topic came around again, it would devolve into a knock-down-drag-out.

(Thanks for the thread rustyp. I am not worried about opening this one and ruining my morning. )
