Huh, I never noticed that before.

Writing rules in verse (and doing a good job of it) is hard, though.
One of my biggest regrets has been that the appendix I added to Rule
1787 was unable to match the tone of Steve's original and somewhat
soured the rule as a whole.  Would that I had never proposed it!  I
very much doubt that it ever would have passed had it not been a
Takeover proposal.
