>>>>> Future rules must describe something their authors like, with reasons. Thus, Committee members might learn more about each other. Stephen likes (most) classical music. Reasons: emotional power/intensity, plus good tunes! <<<<< Notes on validity: 173.2: People seem to be taking this rule to mean that rules may not repeat words from other rules. While I am amazed by James and Glenn's verbal dexterity, that was not my intention. I only meant that words may not repeat words within themselves, and I hope that the Judge will use this interpretation! 173:7.2: I'm not really sure what this means in practice. It could be argued that I am illegally starting a theme here. I would counter that heading off in a totally new direction is far less themeful than continuing the implicit theme of "syntactic restrictions on rules". 173:7.3: I'm assuming that "without" is used here in the older meaning, i.e. the opposite of "within". -- Stephen Turner, Cambridge, UK http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adelie/stephen/ "This is Henman's 8th Wimbledon, and he's only lost 7 matches."
