I'm not arguing with that. You're absolutely right. In fact, you prove my point by saying that "prevent" doesn't mean hinder. It means no transportation at all. NONE. Thanks for understanding me. I can't seem to get through to anyone else.

And I'd also like to point out that I still agree with everyone that forbidding male practice partners seems silly to me. My only arguement was with my inference from Triggers original post, which some people think I mistook. ALthough trigger still hasn't said he didn't mean what I inferred.
