You and Mark Sipe are apparently, at least in your own minds,
omniscient. How in hell can you claim to know the INTENT of the
rulesmakers if you didn't participate in the rules-writing
process?

Well, that's a real favor. If you COULD punish someone for
following the "written rules" rather than the "intent" as
presented by the allegedly omniscient, then why even HAVE rules?

So, there is a CHANGE in the rules. You can't really say what was
the original intent of the rules, only that a later SEB decided
that they wanted to change them. Not the first time this has
happened, but this is in a particularly difficult and
unenforceable area.
