Twice a week? They don't call he "Article a day" Wiederlanders for nothing.

If they aren't, there is always some wannabe here at The Forum who will set them straight, you bet.

Why is more articles better? Already one person in this thread said he was thinking of suscribing, but after reading about what some articles are about, he has decided not to. There is a difference between quanity and quality.
So someone on the forum will set everyone straight if an article gives very bad advise?
Well it has already happened, everyone is on Wiederalanders. So 6 months from now, a 1st year umpire joins the forum and suscribles to Officiating.com. Now Officiating.com is better than Referee because when you sign up, you can read all of the past articles for no extra fee. So this rookie reads Rollie's article, and he dosen't know that the advise is terrible. He thinks if Carl allowed it to be published online, then it must be true. Now remember, this is 6 months in the future, the forum discussions about the article are long over. There is no one to tell the kid that Rollie is an idiot. So he goes out on the field and does this in a game. He then sends you an email asking why his partner refused to talk to him after the game. What are you gonna say? Well I knew Rollie was wrong, but I figured everyone would know that. The kid responds, "I don't really know what I am supposed to be doing. I joined officiating.com to help me become a better official, but instead it has made me worse."
