R1219 says it can't be changed or repealed except by me, whereas you're changing R10 to say R1219 can be repealed by a proposal. That creates a direct conflict between R1219 and R10, which means the Chutzpah kicks in and R1219 takes priority, no matter which way the ID numbers go. And R1219 prevents the proposal from repealing it. Read the Chutzpah rule. The order of precedence goes like this: 1. Rules explicitly stating that they take precedence or defer to other rules 2. Chutzpah 3. ID numbers (Egad - it looks like I've just described meta-chutzpah...) I've noticed a lot of blind faith in Chutzpah as the ultimate measure of a rule's power, and you let that affect you in making your rule. If Chutzpah had been the overriding factor, I would have modified Rule 10 to have chutzpah 101 first. -- Rob Speer _______________________________________________ spoon-discuss mailing list spoon-discuss@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/spoon-discuss
