At the end of the next paragraph - " as a corrolary, we have the
assumption that both transgressed equally, which may or may not be the
case but is certainly percieved as such here". So, you know, there is
a perception in that initial post (and associated commentary) that
Durova's misdeeds extended beyond a 75-minute block.

But, hey, I can see when an attempt to have a discussion about
something in general terms is going to get sidetracked, so I think
I'll abandon this one for a few months until everyone's forgotten the
specific case and then bring it up again with the serial numbers filed
off... :-)
