I'm not.
And I've run them upside down, too. When you turn them upside down, you sacrifice much more control that if you just had a longer bar. So what is the advantage?
Upside down is the last ditch effort to get to the cut, not the standby alternative to an easy cut. If it works for you, I don't really mind if you prefer cutting that way. I don't.
I see someone gets it.
Things are bad when your to dumb to read a picture. I don't mind if they cut upside down either but doing for an extended period is pure ignorance. If my former boss gave you 10 trees to dead wood and you ran your saw upside down pruning 1\4 of the time you'd be down the road. What else did I hear " use a bigger saw" if you use an 18" bar. So now I'm climbing a 1000 vertical feet a day with an extra 2-3lbs. Which is equivalent to 2-3000lbs of excess weght at the end of the day. Bigger saw is for bigger wood not trimming.
