What I personally find amusing is that I've noticed over the years on the lists that the same people who are adamant the standard should NEVER be changed to allow whites or make loncoats a class variation, etc, because the standard is the standard and all should adhere to it, are the same ones who will suggest we need a standard change to add/include certain traits that they don't like or agree with should be listed as faults (but currently are not).
