   As someone else has posted, "CFV" can mean "Criminal Forgery Violaters"
   for all a newbie understands.

   For the record, I agree with this sentiment. Frankly, I'd suspect that you were
   all closet congress critters with the inflexible way you were handling
   this.

The guidelines maintain some sense of order in an anarchy where it's
difficult to find order.  Attempt to change the Guidelines, if you are
convinced they're faulty.  USENET has reformed several times, learning
from previous faults.  But don't challenge a perfectly legal vote just
because you're on the losing side.
