OK, thanks -- that clarifies for me! And yeah; right now, for example, it's kind of awkward having this conversation because you've hit a post limit of some kind, which I gotta assume is a moderation thing. Irksome, since I think it's a good discussion.

FWIW, I agree strongly that unclear rules are bad. You should know what parameters you're operating under. I think there's some space for judgement calls, because it's really hard to write rules that cover all possible cases, but I also think it's significantly better to make those exceptions rather than SOP.

Sincere thanks for taking the time to explain. I will not burden you further with having to edit your posts to reply to me, and certainly feel free to drop me an email if you'd like.
