Which means I help interpret the rules, not that I created them.
If USCF members don't like the rules, they can work to change them.
That's what happened with OMOV, for example.

Larry, you want the worst of both worlds, the openness of a government
body and the competitiveness of the private world.
Try buying stock in a company and then asking to see their contracts,
or ask them to publish them on the Internet.
If the Delegates so choose, they could modify the Bylaws to require that
all future contracts be made available to the Delegates or even to
all members, thus settling that issue. It might cause some of our current
vendors to choose not to continue to do business with the USCF or to
change their terms, though.
