That's an odd comment coming from you, Paul. Rules are rules until they
get changed and it's hardly up to the participant to decide when a rule
is "outdated" enough to just ignore. I can understand some rules being
ignored because they never get enforced, but in effect that's the tacit
decision of the rule maker ... not the participant.
