RE: [haggis] Rule leaking in chat

["Reed, Jim" <jim_reed@mentorg.com>]

Mark,

Does your opinion depend on whether or not the rule is tradable by the
"leaker"?

I.e. should I be able to leak a rule which I cannot trade?

I know a prohibition against that is unenforcable, but I'm curious as to
whether or not we have a consensus.

I have no problem with this.
