[I forgot to do this earlier.]

For reference:
{{{
Rule 2221/8 (Power=3)
Cleanliness and Tidy Filing

  Any player CAN clean a rule without objection by specifying one or
  more corrections to spelling, grammar, capitalization, formatting,
  and/or dialect, or to whether a synonym or abbreviation is used in
  place of a word or phrase, in the rule's text and/or title; the
  rule is amended by this rule as specified by that person.
  
  Any player CAN refile a rule without objection, specifying a new
  title; the rule is retitled to the specified title by this rule.

}}}

I think this rule was picked before, but there isn't a rule against
duplicates occurring (in fact, I'm mildly surprised that it hadn't
happened already). Any further suggestions?

I strongly considered mousetrapping this when writing the "returnable"
part. But I have to defend my reputation. For future, better mousetraps.

FWIW, I caught this, and thought it might be the start of a really
interesting mousetrap scam – it'd have been interesting to see where it
went (and indeed who your confederate was). My hopes have been somewhat dashed 
to see that it was just a thinko with no ulterior motive behind it.

From the passing of this proposal, I qualify for a red ribbon. However,
