That's a bunch of boloney. 
 
The truth is that the proposers and the voters thought that
comp.women was a fine group name that made sense in the hierarchy.
Certain members of the junta didn't agree. THEY injected the
politics.

Chuq refers to guidelines versus rules. IT SEEMS THAT HE AND A FEW
OTHERS CAN MAKE RULES; the rest of us have to settle for
guidelines.
