I interpret 208:1 as having all three descriptors. I interpret the excerpt of 208:3 as placing a requirement only on 208:3. According to 208:5, 208:1 is a Wind rule, and thus it may not carry a label as described. Which it doesn't, because the first line of 208:1 does not include the identity of its poster. In short, I interpret that everything in 208:5 is consistent and correct, though not necessarily in the way or for the reasons intended by the author. 208:6 > All future rules must, for some reason, do one of the following: > > - Dodge a bullet > - Jump across a gap between skyscrapers > - Run on a wall > > In addition, all future "Dude" rules must be written in the form of a haiku. > > -- Agent Unum According to 208:5, * this is not a Wind rule; * therefore, the first line must contain exactly one of (Dust, Dude) along with the identity of the poster. 208:7 > Agent Unum Reporting: > > All future rules must, for some reason, do one of the following: > > - Dodge a bullet > - Jump across a gap between skyscrapers > - Run on a wall > > In addition, all future "Dude" rules must be written in the form of a haiku. > > -- Agent Unum According to 208:5, * this is not a Wind rule; * therefore, the first line must contain exactly one of (Dust, Dude) along with the identity of the poster. It contains the identity, but not the descriptor. -- Rule Date: 2003-05-16 08:55:42 GMT
