Was it intentional that this is EXACTLY 30 days (to the minute) from the
time you deregistered? I CFJ, II=2 on the following sentence. Wooble is a
player. I ask that the judge consider not only eir odd sentence structure of
registration, but the timing of events. Additionally, e should strive to
establish some sort of timing precedent.

========================================================================

Gratuitous Arguments by Murphy:

Wooble's use of "e intends" rather than "I intend" may constitute
sufficient ambiguity to make this FALSE, regardless of timing.

I recommend that the judge certify the typical practice of
interpreting Rule 478's last paragraph as "the time in the Date:
header, except when other headers indicate that that time is
significantly incorrect", and that no such exception exists in
this case.

========================================================================

Gratuitous Evidence by Murphy:

Here are the date-stamped headers from my receipt of Wooble's
deregistration, abbreviated for readability, all times on left in UTC:

Judge Murphy's Arguments:

See my gratuitous arguments and evidence.

It's reasonably clear that Wooble intended to test a couple of
borderline issues, hence reasonable ambiguity exists, hence FALSE.
