I haven't done a lot of cross-referencing tables because that would make 
changes in table structure (which seems to happen every few weeks) more 
difficult. I'd rather store some redundant data than break everything while 
making a change. That said, I could probably pull Proposal and Rule owners 
out of the Event Log, so I don't think I'll have to do it by hand.
