While the wording in the Decision leaves a bit of ambiguity, I don't
think it is quite correct to say that this solves the problem. It does
for the currently more popular use of Stedman in spliced (or
"spliced") with a start at the course end. But if you start Stedman in
the middle of a quick six, and end it at the course end, then you are
leaving it at a different point than you entered it, and you can't
call them both the lead end. Thus, it would appear the CC Decisions
say that such peals, of which have been rung, should not be recorded
as spliced.
