[USML Announce] Two Rule Proposals

Mon Jan 21 21:44:51 EST 2008

When it comes to rule proposals I ask, "WWRD?"  Now that Rick has weighed in
I will concur with my esteemed colleague from Buffalo Grove and also vote
"No" to both proposals.

Brad Lee

P.S.  I also vote "NO" to any rule changes Prof. Klein may propose.
