In defense of my own rule: Regarding your first question, 197:2 merely requires that rules "specify the cash price of their author's gifts," and does not require that this be done in terms of a particular currency. The second issue is, of course, a matter of taste, but bear in mind the following: a) If the round is not in fact already over, there can only be at most two of us remaining (myself and J. Bearden), a full week having passed since any other player's last submission, so only one other person is being stuck with creating an anagram. Once he does so, however, he gets to put me in the position of having to create one for whatever he likes, so the burden is on me as well. b) I went out of my way to supply a gift for which I was able to quickly construct a half dozen or so decent anagrams; it's not like I saddled the poor guy with SIXTY ZULU SAXOPHONES (the only decent anagram for which I could come up with was a LUSH, ZANY SIOUX SEXPOT). So, really, one could say the greater burden was on me, since I tossed my opponent a softball and left myself open to anything he might care to throw at me. -Christian -----Original Message----- From: Nathan Russell [mailto:nrussell_at_acsu.buffalo.edu] Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2002 10:05 PM To: 'frc_at_trolltech.no' Subject: Re: 197:12 --On Tuesday, December 03, 2002 3:49 PM -0500 "Leonhard, Christian" <Christian_Leonhard_at_ADP.com> wrote: > BEGIN 197:12 > I return our can of MAROON S*RAY *AINT for some *YROMANIA TAR*ONS, fiery > sea treats for me to eat myself.

Also, would I be totally out of line in regarding this as far, far too tight a restriction?
