There had been a short time where we had posts that began with [RD] for rule discussion. But we just aren't seeing much of anything new to write rules on. I'm REAL interested in any spam that slips by for people who use SARE rules. I can't believe I miss getting spam slipping by. Its like I won the video game but still want to keep playing :) --Chris
