The rules exist for a reason, and I don't think it's up to individual members to alter them to suit particular tastes. Our administrators work very hard (for free!) to maintain such a warm community for all of us. In return, they ask for very little, and I think it's incumbent upon us to follow the few rules we do have here (VERY few relative to other online communities).
As Jan has outlined, there is a way to share your story and have discussion in a manner that is consistent with DWG policies. Not sure we need to set a precedent of changing rules at a whim for no good reason.
