I would like to suggest everyone do what Al did, take some time to think stuff over before posting any responds.

Lucien, I suggest you create a new thread regarding your purposal of a new rule. This thread was created for a single purpose: Can teams start cutting metal before kickoff? I believe it will be healthier if we stick to that topic, and create a new thread so we can focus our attentions in the new discussion: a suggestion to level the playing field. If you need any assistance moving some post to the new thread the moderators will gladly do so.

Also, this discussion is starting to get personal, and by that I mean it is shifting from debates in front of the public to debates with each other. Although there is nothing horribly wrong with that latter, i feel it is much more benefitial to debate in front of the public addressing points and arguments instead of addressing tones and attitude. If we keep to the merit of the discussion it will be much more constructive.

Ok, back to the topic.
