-The way I see it, I'm not responsible until it's been announced. And if I 
violate the rules afterwards, it can either be ignored if it was a mistake 
or I can be forced to resend my message if it was a blatant violation. This 
was an example of the former, so let's just ignore it, move on, and not 
worry about the petty things. I'll obey that rule from now on, as the rules 
say I have to. They just don't say what happens if I don't. Seems like a 
mistake to me.-
