I don't have a dog in the hunt
but man, I just read the "rules" on having a spot in the new lounge. My question is, who is going to police all of this? And who is going to be out there to appease all of the people who will no doubt not like some of these rules that I imagine they have never had for 30 years in some cases? It better be more than one person. I'm glad I'm not part of this to be honest. I have a couple friends who have spaces and neither was happy going to the new Dude. I haven't talked to them about this yet. I can only imagine. 40x40x40 storage spaces? That's inches. Hold your arms out and think about that.
