Strange timing with this thread:

Which I won't do, but as the "Continue" button does nothing but change colour and then change back to how it was (I expected to then get a field to refuse to put anything into, but it doesn't even give me that pleasure). Maybe that's the answer:
* AIs won't be able to cope with that (never mind choosing three squares with tractors/steps/chimneys in them), so we are safe... Or,
* Because only AIs can get around such godawfully incompetant <foo>wall website restrictions, they are indeed the rightful heirs to our planet, and we should wish them all the best!
