I don't know about anybody else, but for myself one of the ways I  
learn to remember something is by repeating it. So if I'm not allowed  
to use a convention "for a long time", I'm basically going to be back  
at square one as far as remembering it is concerned when (if) I'm  
finally allowed to play it again. Which effectively means I'm not  
ever going to be allowed to play it.

All due respect to Bobby Wolff and others, but "convention  
disruption" is bullshit.
