In principle I agree with you, Bob, but in practice I don't. It is not a
black/white issue. This newsgroup is a community of more or less regular
contributors. Members "in good standing" are due certain leeway because
of their status as useful participants over time. So I don't mind
Steven's post because 1) he doesn't make a habit of it, 2) it is on
topic and 3) he's a regular.

And all that is totally irrelevant.

It's a grey area, I know, and one might reasonably argue about who
defines a member in good standing; I guess you know 'em when you see
'em.

It's not a grey area; it's prohibited. Besides, who elected YOU to decide
who is a "member in good standing"?
