Looks like a particular Frame Maker has put in his point but of course there's a whole bandwagon in the opposite direction.

The Slammers:
Slam That Stem

The Frame Maker:
Gerard's Point(s)

Sure, some people due to physical conditions/states/injuries/whatever must have a longer stack height but from pure style points (the point of the thread) it must be slammed!
