How can you start out by saying "Stupid idea." and end up with "Best 
Wishes"? :)

Even so...that is exactly correct.  (by the way...this goes to show just 
how elegantly simple this rule is...folks 'get it' immediately)  You 
can't work guys on the way home *if* you activated a new grid in the 
mean time.  It encourages folks to adapt a strategy of "working as many 
other people as possible" while they are in a particular grid (hitting 
two birds with one stone).  Rovers are therefore encouraged to do a 
better job of working everyone they can while they are in a particular grid.

It's win-win.
