Sure it's plugged. I claim that Societies can't give out BW, while 
'Morf claims that they can under the Society transfer rules; but either 
interpretation closes this scam off - under mine, that BW is lost, 
under 'Morf's, only those 5 can be given back.

Unless you mean the Society-BW storage bug-feature... which I actually 
find to be quite interesting. I'd like to see perhaps a limitation on 
it, like, "No society may ever have more than 10 Bandwidth", or may a 
drainage thing - each nweek, every society loses 2 BW - but not an 
outright obliteration of the bu- er, feature.

Personally, I think the whole system is in need of an overhaul... I'll 
try to get to that this weekend, if nobody beats me to it.
