God I love it... Retorical Dawinism... only the best and most original survive... Niche Threading... The rest will be herded into the cattle pen of deletion... Does an old carnivores heart good.

But seriously, it's long overdue. And I wouldn't worry about any real form of rules. In my experience most people view rules as some thing to read and, (1) Forget, until you're slapped by them, or (2) Try and figure a way around them. (If you don't believe me watch how many people get their work combined and then cry when they're caught, or go "Huh?"). Besides I'm willing to bet that Joe's judgements will be based in some part by the posting history of the person creating the thread. And frankly I like what I've seen so far.

And thus the ultimate retort - If you don't like it... leave.
