Default Stapler Question

What's with the little metal plate at the bottom of the sapler? It's a little piece of metal that you can use to adjust the whay the staple assumes its final shape (see attached pic). Has anyone ever used this? When would you ever want the staple to come out the "other way" ?

Solved by wikipedia .

Pinning
This method is by far the least known and most rarely used of the stapling methods. It is used to temporarily bind documents or other items, often cloth or clothing for sewing. In order to pin, the anvil must be shifted so that the staple bends outwards instead of inwards. The staple binds the item with relative security, but can be easily removed by pulling the staple along the plane of the paper. This method varies between staplers, as some anvils need to be simply pushed forward to allow pinning, while others must be rotated. Some staplers implement pinning by bending one leg of the staple inwards, while bending the other outwards. Some modern staplers do not even include support for pinning.

I just staplled some paper together using the "other setting" and had no problem removing it with that kind of a staple remover. The mystery continues...
