Shorty:
Sorry, I don't see it as arguing in circles. When you mentioned *again*
"rarely enforced," I took it as your stating it as a contention again. If
that is not what you were doing, then I simply misread you. (And if that is
not what you meant, then I'm afraid I don't understand what you were saying
in that sentence -- sorry.)
I really don't think making a statement that a rule is rarely enforced is
something that a list member can necessarily do "offhandedly," though. It
reads like a statement of fact, which is why I responded. I don't believe
that I "jumped on it" either, Random. I responded to it, yes, to clarify my
position on that issue, as an elf. "Jumping on" in my opinion has to do
with being nasty to someone else, which I do not believe I was.
My intention is not to argue with you at all, least of all in circles! I
just believe that, here at Feedback, when issues pertaining to list
management, list procedures, rules & guidelines come up, members are not
necessarily going to know how things operate behind the scenes. I think
having elves write in to clarify or explain is helpful, especially when
statements are made which *seem* to be misstatements.
