Looks like I've been scobled.
I submit, Lord Scoble, to your clearly superior knowledge. I mean, after all, you work in a Bicycle Shop. Yes, I worked in one for about a year and a half, and dealt with sizing customers, and used this as a tool to do so, but clearly that time was wasted and I misinformed all of those people.
Thanks to you, I now know that that measurement is redundant. It definitely isn't an indication of being too far forward or far back on the bike. It's certainly no way to help decide on the length of stem you should use.
