Lazarus, I fully expected you to respond. I would have been disappointed if you had not. <s> Moderator is a sucky job. And the former moderator's parallel was ill-conceived. IMO, it was a very poor parallel. We have an odd custom in rule making. Your rule was well intended; of that I have no doubt. It even looked pretty good at first. It probably even works with a minimal amount of common sense. Though if common sense was pervasive, you wouldn't need the rule to begin with. But our "custom" is when the rules are scrutinized and loopholes are found we traditionally blast the rule maker. How many times do we blast Congress as incompetent because they are unable to forsee how devious minds might manipulate their well-intentioned rules/laws. Don't quit being moderator because of my post; it's intention was levity and not serious. On the other hand, if I was you, I'd quit anyway. jttmab
