Interesting thread, sorry we lost it.

Tee: The first time the article appeared was the time that Garth found the error, and the Editor's Note you read had not yet been posted.
When I edited Chad's piece, I wanted to add that the umpire
may call two out when there's interference with a double play possible. I paraphrased the FED rule rather than the OBR rule. It was a contextual error only: The sentence was absolutely correct for another league.
Thanks for your post ... I think. (grin)
