If only our esteemed moderators & admins would learn the value of a little benign neglect! If they don't have such a rule in force (and a really dumb one at that), perhaps they should be a little less ready to jump on things that MIGHT violate a rule they MIGHT have some day? A bit of patience would have avoided the incredible furor this is liable to generate--amusing as that is, sometimes. May i add that they did the same thing with their early "No Commercial Posts in regular forums" policy--applied it unevenly and by fits and starts, thereby angering lots of vendors and generally making their lives miserable. i won't forget that one soon, as i was one of the first to take a hit in that particular effort. Dear mods and admins, life here would be so much less fraught if you-all could get all of your enterprise "on the same page" before acting on a new rule. The constant jostling about we get is really unnecessary.
