I have found a lot of value from this board. There are a couple of things that have helped or added value.
1-It is a great way to study the rules, as I try to look up each question and get my own answer before I read other answers and views. This is more interesting than just reading the book.
2-It makes me think and it forces me to make decisions. Many issues and questions are brought up here with no lack of rules, opinions and experience provided. I am not too worried about majority or minority on an issue, but use these threads to continue to fine tune my style and philsophy. I examine, study, ask local mentors and then decide how I will handle each situation or enforce the rule.
3-I enjoy the passion and emotion, that some officials bring to the board. While some may find it annoying, I like the fact that so many care about the game, the rules and officiatng.
4=It is an interesting way to find others with this common interest, learn of other ways to do things, e.g., associations, evaluators, getting games, etc.
5=And the list goes on. It is an aidm and only an aid, for me. Nothing has gotten me in trouble but as I mentioned I try to use my mentors here before trying thingds.
My appreciaton to those that reply to me, the patience in answering my questions and for the info I get.
