I think there was some type of "flame war" going on about a thread like this 
when I first got on Ridecamp, but... I ride downhill in a 2 point position, 
kind of. My butt just barely out of the saddle and the shock being taken up 
by my knees and ankles. 
I 2 pt up hill but never on the flat unless we're galloping. If I had a 
gaited horse I would sit on the flat. I haven't had one yet, but my new a-rab 
trots so smooth its easier to sit than post, so I sit and just kinda go with 
the flow.
