The problem is quite simply that it is unreasonable to leave less than (say) 30 days for people to catch up with records, learn the results of scams, etc., consider rules interpretations (e.g. an inquiry case that has a bearing on an criminal case before NoVing). I don't particularly care enough to try to mess this up more for a short-term grandfather clause; it's my fault that I forgot to vote when it passed by 1 vote. And simply, in this case, ehird wasn't a player during the time when this passed. The whole process is still badly done: witness the loss of information between NoVs and criminal cases. -G.
