Proposal 2681
Rule 1 Is Harfy, Not Unquestionable
Slakko (Duncan Richer)

This is a Modest Proposal.

Apply the following changes in the specified order:

Renumber Rule 2000 to Rule 0.

Delete the last paragraph of Rule 1. {{[This eliminates all the
precedence jargon]}}

Renumber Rule 1 to Rule 1150.

{{[It belongs in the rules, just not as the overwhelming Rule 1]}}

Yours,
Slakko

Subject: Acka: Retraction

I hereby retract proposal 2666.
It is either pointless or trivial, take your pick, depending upon your
interpretation.
