Question/poll: Do you put it in from the front or from the back?

Now that I've got your attention... I have a simply question. Do you put your drain plug in from inside your boat (front) or do you put one in from the outside (back). I've always put it in from the inside, but I've seen lots of people at launch ramps that had put it in from the outside and I was wondering if there was a "correct" way of doing it? Any comments/reasons why you do it a particular way are welcomed and appreciated.
 
With my I/O screw-in drain plug, I didn't think it was possible to put in in from the inside. I should investigate in case I ever forget to put it in....
 
On the V21 I don't see how you could put it on the inside. My dad's Mckeecraft I've always put it on the inside because I can. Pretty sure I did the same on my old beater boat back in the day. My V has the garboard style.
 
The only way on a V-21 from the inside is with 8' arm's so outside for me. I wouldn't want to use a compression style from the inside incase the pressure blows it out and a guy get's that sinking feeling.
 
On smaller jon boats w/no pumps, I plug from the inside so can pull it out and drain on plane...bigger boats w/pumps, I'm kind of an outside guy...
