LOOK, LOOK! It's a moderately on topic post that's not about the FTC debacle!

You two clearly aren't thinking creatively enough. Scoring for your opponent makes
loads of sense when there's 9+ points sitting on the top row in the form of a completed LOGO. All you do is have your feeder score the
wrong GAME PIECE for your opponent, and you wipe out the LOGO bonus. Scoring for your opponent to lower their score! I thought it was pretty brilliant and hilarious, personally. Anyways, I posted a question to the Q&A a while back that outlined this scenario. So I'm taking credit for the <G39> rule change in this update until anyone else admits to having a twisted enough mind to think that up.
However, I'm not taking credit for this:

All I did was post about the rule change before someone else did. And show back up in the thread to nod along with everyone else and bring a little order to things. I suspect that the biggest push came from people who developed all the CAN technology and either wandered across the thread or were otherwise informed about the rule change.
