wearing a Disco shirt...

I can't help feeling this is bad news.

Oh, hold on. Maybe there will be an amnesty around the corner, reset
the rules, and everyone get back to racing. At some point you have
enough cases to figure out the system is more the problem than the
individuals, you try to get everyone on the same page and move
forward.

Never mind. It must have been some bad yogurt for that to pop up. I'm
sane again. String all the bastards up.
