Someone posted what they think is a reasonable answer to what I proposed and I didn't agree. I could expand on the discussion and haven't changed my mind. I thought we all came here to do that.

Any kind of online forum inevitably requires participants to remind each other of the rules as it's the principal means of enforcing them.
