I've read this board just about every day since I found it a little over a year ago. There are always occasional posts of a simple nature that could be answered by just looking at the rule book.

It it is only my opinion, but these posts have not increased in frequency. They are bound to show up every once in a while. Answer them in one post. Even tell them to go read the rule book while you do it. Just don't keep posting to the thread and make it go on for three pages. The more people keep posting to the thread, the more popular it becomes. You thus increase the chance that someone will see it, think it's normal and therefore encourage them to post more. Better yet, ignore the post completely and they'll get the message. Either of the previous two options is better than drawing attention to it.

Yet that is what you guys keep doing. And you don't get that you are only defeating your own purpose by continuing to respond.

You are correct, except you are the one who dosen't get it. This goes a lot deeper than ignoring a post every month or two. Eventually this board will be overrun with threads similar to this one. Go to eteamz and try and try to figure out which of the threads are not LL/coach posts.

I just checked eteamz, the first post on the list similar to this one, a post about a simple rule, and the second post is about if the batter's hands are part of the bat or not. Do you want this fourm to turn into that? At the rate this board is going, it dosen't have much time untill it is just another eteamz.
