What latitude does a class have to amend the RRS within the class?
None.... but you could always try to learn the ones the rest of us use.
That is an ad hominem fallacy, as you well know.
I don't know Pete. Your statement "Thanks Kris. A quick look tells me we can do pretty much whatever we want." points up your lack of understanding of the rules. There is actually little you can do. Mark's comment might sting, but appears to be accurate, at least in this instance. An ad hominem attack involves truths or untruths that are aimed at the individual but irrelevant to the topic at hand. Suggesting you learn the rules that the rest of us use is completely relevant.
