Sorry Ed, but we can't use nostalgia as a valid argument. When I first
joined you would feel obliged to take a sabbatical whenever someone
objected to your blocking someone. But times have changed; that's
progress, and you can't stop progress. "Everybody"'s armed now. Why
bother sneaking under the tent flap, when you can slash a hole in the
back of the tent with your machete.
