   that argument was everywhere, groups and mailing lists, we still did   
   what we wanted to because those trying to tell others what to do were   
   self appointed net-cops, actually we called them worse but the world is   
   trying to be more respecting so I wont use that term now... and there was   
   no prohibition on it in any group charter, it was simple some dweebs   
   didn't like it... plus I'm about 30 years older and CBF baiting like I   
   used to haha, the joys of family life mean free time is very limited.
