Although I must admit I don't always love it, harvester killing 
DEFINITELY should be allowed.  

What people are doing is stripping away the strategic intelligence of 
this game.

At first it was: Limited to 4 orcas.
	-That makes sense to me, and I even play that way.
Then it was: No attacking harvesters.
	-I thought that was ridiculous
Most recently: No engineers.
	-I nearly started eating only prunes (?!)
	-No, i was seriously appauled.

PEOPLE listen up!! Don't just take something away from the game because 
thats how YOU got beat!  We cannot continue to bog down the game with 
unnecessary rules. If someone keeps beating you by destroying your 
harvester, think of it as a motivator to figure out a better way to 
destroy THEIR harvester.  Or think up a better way to guard your own 
harvester.  --then post about it here.

Here's one way: Build 3-4 recon bikes (GDI: 2 rocket launchers).  Select 
the team, hold down ctrl+alt then click on your harvester. This will 
force those units to guard your harvester (or any object you click on). 
The whole team will follow your harvester around and attack anything 
automatically that comes in range. NOTE: Sometimes the harvester gets 
mixed up and plays tag with the units, so you'll have to watch it 
periodically.
