That's what I thought....but then, when you have a huge bureaucracy, regulations tend to get made in a very conservative fashion. Someone might abuse this, so let's forbid it altogether.
I suspect that as long as the activity stayed low-key and no one made an issue of it, the local Powers That Be just ignored it. After all, I have been doing the JazzerThon for 4 years, putting up my appeal letter eavery time. But if someone actually complained, or if the other co-worker insisted on having the limits of what he could do defined, the official policy had to be noticed and enforced.
