it is exactly how it works and this is a perfect example of that mantra coming
back to bite the FTSC and those chanting that mantra square in the ass... i've

out and more to be taken by those who insist on hanging theirselves... they're
doing a good job at collecting the rope, too! ;)

there is no enforcement any more so there's nothing that can really be done any
way...
