No Peter. Just like Rich found out, I like my independence. I like the fact that I can say what I say and if I offend someone, I do not have to answer to anyone.

Rut;
Carl gives his writers complete independence. He doesn't care that I regularly tick off the readership. The more controversy the better and believe me, there are a lot of people that get ticked off at what I write. I have the undying hatred of Little Leaguers and t-ballers.
The only thing that I can't do is call Carl an a$$hole, even if he is.
This argument won't wash, Rut. You cannot use as an excuse that you will lose your independence. It just isn't true. I am living proof of that. Four years ago, there was no one on the Internet that Carl hated more than me. I am sure that anyone who has been around that long will bear me out.
He still hired me because I had something useful to say and was entertaining in the process. He will hire you if you have something useful to say in a language that bears a resemblance to English. Many of us writers lack professional journalism skills; he hires us anyway and edits out our worst mistakes.
So, Rut, it's time to put up. I know you won't shut up. The major posters at officiating.com have all taken a stab at writing an article or two for the site. Only the trolls with no names or the total newbies with nothing to say, sit on the sidelines.
It's time for to step up to the plate and take your turn at bat. You are doing the work by writing tons of stuff, why not get paid for it.
Unless of course, you are worried about rejection and being exposed as a fraud.
Naw, not the great Rut.
Peter
