People in these different groups are usually expected the answer per their level of officiating or rule set. There is one Facebook group that says they are specifically targeting NFHS rules.
So your'e saying that The Forum is no longer (maybe never was) the best of the best?

I may have to join Facebook. Really don't want to, already spend way too much time on my computer for basketball, kayaking, backyard chickens, and my prison ministry.

Funny thing is both my son and daughter-in-law teach classes in social media, my son at Syracuse in the Sociology Department, and my daughter-in-law at Hofstra in the Journalism Department.

Both my son and daughter-in-law have advised me to stay away from Facebook because they believe that I'm too polite and that I would get eaten alive.
