I agree with you 150 %.

Let's have the present Element 1 replaced by this "rules" element -
it is more relevant to all amateurs on any band, any class, any mode.

Phil, I said it before the restructuring and I''ll say it again.

"What I fear most about the restructuring is a lack of enforcement,
and what I fear most about maintaining the status quo is a lack of
enforcement."

Having people memorizing the rules is completely meaningless unless
the FCC enforces them.
