but first a question......

Where is that excellent article on the analysis of the optional rules and which to use?

Thanks,

Doug Burke (former cabinet member, General, etc......)

You may be thinking of this article by Kennon Whitehead from long ago. It could stand with an update but is still an excellent summary.

Be forewarned, if you are asking which ones to use, you will be engulfed with two-bit opinions :mrgreen:
