I come from an operational environment where everything is CONCISELY documented (the handbook is not so different). Currently, what I did is allowed by the rules and IMO it's not underhanded at all. It was done with the best of intentions. You, as portmgr, have no right at all to either accuse me of being underhanded or getting angry about my legitimate solution which, IMO, makes perfect sense. If the criteria is common sense, I met that criteria with flying colors and you've got no standing other than your own "common" sense that I'm wrong. Stop slighting the legal profession. This is something that requires more guidelines than is available, and as a member of both documentation and portmgr, you have the ability to improve it.
