All good points, which is why I put the quesstion out there. I wanted to get
some dispassionate views on whether or not this even needs to be addressed. I
guess I tend to agree that a house rule is not necessary.

Thanks for your opinions

Seems to me that the Russians did this sort of thing all the time historically,
although I could be wrong.

HQ support. My local group has long debated this situation and toyed with the
idea of some house rule, but we can't agree on how to limit it. Any ideas?
