mouse wheel wrong direction?

[Jasper Huijsmans]

lol, are you trying to confuse us even more ;-)

Anyway, I liked this explanation best: look at it as if they are pages
in a document, scrolling down moves to the next page, scrolling up to
the previous one. 

That's how it's implemented (in the end it's just a choice of course).
