It just so happens that Tom L. began such a discussion that lasted the
entire ride back to Hackistan/Stanza. Here's the link to his blog on the
subject of hover peeing:

It's actually not such a gendered thing. Women can pee standing up as well,
and many do. It's actually much neater than hover peeing, which is a blight
on toilets everywhere. However, it is a power best used outdoors. The
toilets at the Omni are made for sitting, and people of all genders can do
so. I too pledge not to stand or hover.

BTW, what's the story on the urinals in the head in the hallway to the
sudoroom? One of them was operational, but I notice they are all cordoned
off now. Do we need funds to fix them or are they destined for the
knackers?

Please excuse the unusual nature of this email and take me seriously for a
moment.
I have started the practice of sitting down to pee at the Omni, which is
not something I do anywhere else in my life. Before I continue, you may
well be wondering if I am assuming that my readership are the owners of
"hoses" as Arnas called them . "No" is the answer, but of course if
you
already urinate while sitting then perhaps this call to action is less
germane.
Here is my reasoning:
1. I Care about bathroom cleanliness at the Omni.
2. After close inspection, and many trials, even with the utmost care I
cannot urinate standing up in a way that gets all my urine securely in the
bowl without splashing a very small amount.
3. In my experiments peeing sitting down is almost fail-safe at getting all
my urine in the toilet bowl.
4. I have the option to sit down to pee.
Since there are two options, and one is superior from a cleanliness point
of view - albeit slightly more labour intensive - and since cleaning will
be done in solidarity by one of our members; I therefore am pledging to sit
down to pee at the Omni.
I hope you will take this position
