And, finally Steve, just because we disagree is not a reason to label something I say as "Regalistic," or befitting a Monarch. That is insulting. It is at the very core of the EWS - an immature little clique of cry-babies whose presence on this board is for no other reason than to disrupt the conduct of business here. I find all of you distasteful and childish.
Grow up for cryin' out loud. The world doesn't revolve around Steve "BFair" Freix (if that is your real name.)

Well, Well, What have we here? The pot calling the kettle black, perhaps. For months, I have read dozens of messages by umpires endlessly promoting their clubs and titles; UT moderator, Rightsports staff, etc. These titles were used, not to inform us, but to set the royalty apart from the peasants....
I suggest, Mr. Porter that if you do not want to labeled regalistic, that you drop the ridiculous titles from your signature. Quit bragging about your club memberships. At present, you are like a man who signs his name "King James" but who wails and crys when he is not treated like one of the boys....
For the purposes of full disclosure, Mr. Moose told me today what EWS stands for. I am still laughing.

John,
It seemed to me that Jim Porter simply mentioned that he is with e-umpire and provided his e-mail address at Right Sports. I don't see where that equates to a "ridiculous title". It is my understanding that "EWS" is an imaginary club set up to poke fun at Carl, Warren and others. Hey at some time we all want to belong to a group but I would caution members of EWS not to use their "personal" opinions in speaking for the entire membership. By the way does EWS have a forum where we can visit that has a message board and advice written by long time college umpires? I also heard that EWS is looking for space while the clubhouse is undergoing renovations.
