To all of you who think that this TWP has no value at all and will only serve to confuse younger, inexperienced umpires, I have one thing to stay.
STOP F$*#$NG RESPONDING TO THE QUESTION/THREAD.
You guys could have just let the post die with little or no responses and it would have drifted to the bottom of the board with little or no fanfare.
Instead, you end up making this thread grow to 3 pages and pique the curiousity of umpires reading this board so that they are more inclined to actually read the thread and get confused. By responding you, as you put it, "waste bandwidth" and draw attention to a thread, that, by your own accounts, we shouldn't be wasting our time talking about.
You guys don't get it!
Geez....

Well I am certainly wiser than this man. It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know. ~Socrates
