I followed the "law".  I maintained the port long enough to ensure that 
it fulfilled its purpose.

Lawyers and judges exist for a reason, to interpret badly written laws 
and policies.  Again, if there is a MINIMUM time to maintain a port, 
please add it to the policy.

And yes, you're welcome for the unsolicited but beneficial work that I 
did on fortune ports that neither interest nor concern me.  Geez.
