I agree that I did bring it up, as a self deprecating, tongue in cheek, comment. I was actually hoping that it would be, in my opinion, rightfully ignored. Unfortunately, it never is. Someone's always ready to bite. And I don't mind defending myself, and my local board. I just can't figure out why me "bringing it up" as a facetious comment would get so many Forum veterans in a "tizzy"? I will, hopefully, never bring up this subject as a serious topic, but why can't many on the Forum just ignore it? Which is exactly my point. Uniform guidelines can be a "When in Rome ..." local guideline, and as long as Forum members get flustered, I will keep "bringing it up" as a self deprecating, facetious, comment, until the comment is, I believe, rightfully ignored, at which point, my job has been accomplished, and I will, hopefully, no longer bring it up facetiously, or in any other way.

This, thanks to a great lead in post by JRutledge, says it all in a nutshell:

Uniform guidelines? When in Rome ... Local guidelines. How can anyone have a problem with that? That's the part that I can't fathom.
