If there is no Rule Date line, the mailing list software is faulty, and you should not expect that it's operating correctly in other ways. In particular, you should not expect that the message has been sent to the judge and other players. Call your friendly listmaster. FWIW, the Rule Date line was added to have a readily available reference clock. Rules have in the past been submitted almost at the same time a few times, certainly close enough that without a reference clock it would have been difficult to establish a rule ordering. --Arnt
