Inverted Y mouse axis or not?

Just wondering, do you play 1st/3rd person games with the Y mouse axis inverted or not? I play with it inverted and so does my brother and one of my friends. Everyone else I know doesn't invert it.

I invert it (dragging mouse = show up, pushing mouse = show down).

None of my friends invert it, though.

I'm with HAL, I don't invert it. It would be like playing a flight sim!

I believe that's the reason why I invert it. I played a flight sim many many hours per day and every day in week. .

Cool

I thought I was the only person in the world that DOES invert it. Nice to see others do it also!

Well, the first real FPS I played was Unreal, and I'm pretty sure it was inverted by default in it. But I've learned to play with it "normal" because I got tired of having to reset the configs on my brother's computer every time I went to his house to play on his LAN. After a couple of rounds, I was used to it "normal" and I don't even think about it anymore.
