Can someone link to the offending post that set this off, if any rules are being added or appended, this has to be presented to @Ed_Zotti.

I just merged the 2 almost simul threads on this topic and don’t know the root cause. I know it didn’t happen in the [What were you THINKING? - #6737 by Alessan](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-were-you-thinking/991532/6737) thread.
