But I also find less restrictive systems freeing because I don't have to look everything up; I can make up rulings on the fly.So, I guess my answer to the OT is: everything and nothing. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
