Thanks for clearing up the story, Chris.

I guess now it goes into the other category of pet irks of mine - rules made because of stupid idiots that are competing to be the first flushed out of the gene pool - aka Darwin Award Candidates.

I'm reminded of the gal who years ago was driving around in her car with a cup of coffee stuffed between her legs and when it inevitably spilled she got burned.

Since the cup came from McDonalds she sued them because they didn't tell her it was hot. She won millions.

Philosophically, the problem of dealing with idiot humans is probably worse than factoring googolplex sized numbers.
