Mark, I can understand the NF taking things out of the Case Book. If the rule still exists, then taking it out of the Case Book should not change the enforcement of the rule.

But in this case, the NF has removed part of the Rule Book. That is a totally different situation. When something no longer appears in the Rule Book, we can't assume that it's still a rule or still permissable. That's just nuts. At the very least, an editorial note to address this deletion should have been written.

BTW, the NF does not print a Handbook and an Officials Manual every year. These two books alternate years. This year's Officials Manual is good for 2001-2003 and is print in odd numbered years. Last year's Handbook is good for 2000-2002 and is printed in even numbered years.
