So if I understand this correctly, you are saying, that as pendantic as this rule is, we should shut up or get out With new transcribers joining all the time who have not been a party to the past discussions isn't this subject going to keep rearing its ugly head? Lucille -------Original Message------- From: Allan Raymond Lucille Everyone has a right to offer their comments, this is the means by which we improve the system and get a better understanding of FreeBMD. However there is a caveat to this. If a topic has been discussed to death and the Project Team Leadership have offered a detailed explanation of why things are required to be done in a certain way, then this is the time for the discussion to be ended. In any organisation there are rules which individuals are required to adhere to, FreeBMD is no different. Full stops is such an item which has been discussed to death. If individuals don't wish to adhere to the rules, then they can make their own choice of whether they want to participate in the project or not. Allan Raymond --------------------- .
