Understand the game and the intent of the rules, and do my job to maintain fainess and balance by the rules and by the interpretations made available to me, the umpire.[/B]

These interpretations are made available to you, thanks to the Internet, thanks to PBUC and the NAPBL, thanks to JEA, thanks to J/R, and thanks to Carl and the BRD. It seems that you pick and choose what interpretations work well for your philosophies. You attack Carl and his credibility, so why don't you shoot an e-mail off to Jim Evans and bash his credibility? I don't see Jim working any MLB games, yet you don't see anybody here attacking Evans.
I think it takes a bigger ego for someone to create a secret society, pick and choose what rules they wish to enforce, attack the credibility of authoritative sources, and ridicule others behind their backs all because one of their members blew a call in a game, and didn't like the feedback he was given. So when are you EWS guys going to swallow your pride and "do the right thing" by accepting "official" official interpretations?
