The story I heard was that the FED didn't realize until a few years ago that
they had mistakenly deleted that language, and that when they did remember, they just put the language and procedure back in.

Works for me, JR.
But, I find this interpretation to be conflicting with the MTD, Sr. philosophy that goes something like:
If a rule is not specifically deleted, then the rule remains alive.
Perhaps there is a Fed philosophy that the Fed has forgotten.
[/B][/QUOTE]Well, my own philosophy is that if I can't find a rule somewhere in the book(s), then I can't call it. For some reason, coaches just don't seem to want to accept me telling them that a rule really does exist, but it's in a briefcase up in my attic. 
All I know about this one is that the rule was in the book years ago, seemed to be deleted without anybody making an announcement that it really was deleted, and it then came back with just about the original language.
Of course, there is also the usual chance that I'm completely wrong again too.
