DPRG mailing list archives: [DPRG] Rules

Wed Sep 19 12:16:05 CDT 2001

I am going to try to take a stab at changing the Can-Can rules.  I find it
is easier to discuss if the proposed change is written down in "black and
white" as opposed to just talking about it.   I will try to get something
within a week for everyone to see.
