This is not rule f in round 221 of the Fantasy Rules Committee. At least I didn't think of it as a rule when I was started posting it, but neither did David think he was posting a rule when he accidentally submitted rule 221:f (or is it g? I can't keep track). I'm pretty sure David Nicol, who once participated in the "4 dimensional Scrabble Round" (round 16) of the Fantasy Rules Committee, never expected that his question about the judges policy of treating ever submission to the list as a rule would end up being treated as a rule itself. But perhaps he did. As for my own view on the debate I'm ambivalent. On one hand the RO's don't support this practice. On the other hand tradition has allowed judges to get away with it. In fact I recall having done precisely that myself when some new member posted helpful information about how to buy viagra online. But I digress, so I'll stop. Every valid rule in this round must use it's anecdotes about past rules and rounds to shed more light on this contentious question. Unless they aren't rules at all in which case they don't care about being valid or invalid. ===== Everyone knows, when you make an assumption, you make an ass out of u and mption. -s.l.j in t.l.k.g
