I was polite, and provided justification to a REMINDER of rules, not  
a rule change.  I've asked you to respect (follow) the rules here,  
not personally agree with them.  I'm not going to debate the issue  
further; if you respect the site and the resource that is provided to  
you at no cost, you'll heed the request.
