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.
