In the last few years, we've been able to get them changed pretty quickly, since we've got such sturdy communications technology. But perhaps this one particular item -- which after all occurs very,very seldom -- just didn't get modified once and has flown under the radar since then.
So whoever it is on the rules committee that is watching this board and getting our suggestions put into action, PAY ATTENTION!! This item needs addressing.

I think the word "continuous" (uninterrupted; unbroken) is clear. If A violates, then B inbounds, then A inbounds, the delay has been interrupted. The next delay is not a "continuous" delay.
