My only objection is that the geometry, as they say in French, of who does and doesn't adhere to any given rule is totally variable. I recall vividly (and selectively, but memory can be like that) a quite long thread in which many of our venerable and often infuriatingly redundant dinosaurs participated concerning the Oberon mail client (a completely extraneous executable which hasn't been updated in 20 years, used by a single Canadian holdout somewhere in the outback). But nobody was chastised, warned, kill-filed (as far as we know), or any other freaking thing because of it. What's good for the goose must be good for the gander, or it's no good at all. > Cheers > - t >
