Ah, yes, if we're interpreting the documentation from the perspective of stacks that's fine ; however, i would humbly submit that the most obvious interpretation of "above" is "higher in position", which - in a plaintext configuration file - means "before". I suppose the greater questions is whether the documentation is meant for programmers explicitly, or for technically-minded people generally... -- Daniel Maher <dma+gluster AT witbe DOT net>
