This wording was removed in the 3.5 update.Now, bear with me because this might be a bit of a stretch, a leap of faith, but I believe that the changes made to the flanking section of the SRD in the 3.5 revision were made intentionally and not merely a mistake.Even if this was an honest argument, it's not an issue when you consider that a) the flanking bonus only applies to melee attacks and b) rogues can only sneak attack within 30 feet.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
