The rule was never a problem. The problem is that some *players* just plain
get a bug up their butts about it. It is not a rules problem when some-
one says "I don't like XXXX rule and demand it be changed", it's a player
problem. I have no problem with people making house rules to change this
(or any) rule, but it simply isn't correct to call this a rules problem.
It's like claiming that monopoly is a flawed game because you don't like
the color of the board.
