I can't remember the rationale behind it offhand.  However, it is one  
of those restrictions that has been in place since time immemorial  
for gameplay balance reasons, similar to (and perhaps partially  
pursuant to) the "no realm mergers" rule.

It's possible that it needs re-examining now, but until there is an  
official word on the subject, I will continue to assume that it's  
Forbidden, and advise other people likewise.

salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we  
went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You  
haven't got through college yet.'"
