To me, that is the definition of "obscure," can see why most people wouldn't be aware of it. And it doesn't give a reason. But then Alanon seems to have more rules, but maybe that's just me. Early on, I carried all my books with me, treated AA as a kind of "classroom," which was what one of the old timers liked to call it. And when I showed up at an Alanon meeting, I was told I couldn't put my AA books on the table. Obviously, being chastised like that has stuck with me since that was many 24 hours ago.
