(Pretending to be the Judge is a tradition!) VALID. Note that the final restriction is not explicitly labelled as a claim, so it *is* binding. +1.0 restriction that really is, for variety +0.5 restriction applies to itself +0.5 restriction applies to past rules +0.5 Martian silliness -0.5 first sentence is redundant with 206:1 ---- +2.0 total This judgment and style award replaces the following, which I wrote before receiving 206:2 and 206:3. > Nathan Russell <nrussell_at_acsu.buffalo.edu> wrote: > > > As Steve says, April Fools' Day is a time for jokes.
