Bill, stop playing the fool. You obviously have your own agenda here, whether you are going to ever get around to revealing it is anyone's guess.
My main points through this whole discussion have surrounded two things:
Rules should be there to keep people safe, not to ban skills that can be learned.
Rules must be enforceable, therefore anything rule which relies on intent is pointless.
Which part of that are you finding difficult to understand?
Em,
if I say I really don't have any agenda at all here, would you accept that?
I totally agree with your two points above.
If you disagree with me about bike-to-bike, that's fine, we can agree to disagree - I would like to explore why it is you have a problem with that specific thing without being accused of playing the fool and having a load of other rule changes which neither you nor I have proposed thrown in for ballast.
