    There are no particular rules to break, as there are none
    to speak of, but please abide by Echopol1, this policy being
    the parliamentary authority for sysops and non-sysops alike,
    keeping in FidoNet's true philosophy, which can be summed
    up in the two rules:

    1) There are no Rules.
    2) See Rule number 1.
