make up rules, we use those already in the book.

See? You just can't let it go. An out is not needed here. That's my opinion. I got your message in your first post, however, it is apparent the one not getting the message is YOU().

"Of course, most of us don't make up rules, we use those already in the book."

Umpduck's statement sums up what we've been telling you all along. Stop trying to impose your sense of fairplay into the game.
