I was right. Amazing! 5. You've been upset since you were passed over for the news editor's job. 6. Remember (everyone else will), I never mention you or your buddy - first, I never attack you or your buddy -first. I only respond when you pull stuff liked "anal retentive." I wonder what your daughter will think about that in twenty years. You're ok with that?
BTW: I can play, too.

1. So Rich's knowledge wasn't good enough, so you had to put in editors notes? Then why do you fail to put notes in Rollie's articles when he gives bad advise?
You admitted on the forum that Rollie's "Mikey" article was meant for "advanced" umpires, or something to that extent. But no where in the article does it say that. If a rookie umpire reads that, he may very well go out and do what that article says.
2 & 3. 4 out of the last 5 baseball articles are Wiederlanders. Carl, I know Officiating.com is your website, and you want it to do well. But, you have to realize, as much as you would like it to be, the baseball section is not up to par. All you have is two writers. Rollie writes 3 or 4 articles for every 1 Tee writes. Rich and Garth wrote good articles. It is a shame that you would pull a stunt like this and remove their articles. You should be thanking Tee every chance you get, for he is the only reason to ever check out the Officiating.com baseball page.
4. Whatever.
5. News editor? You mean the guy who types out the NF rule changes once a year?
Here is a quote from the article announcing the Officiating.com news section:
Quote:
The News Comes to Officiating.com
Each weekday, we'll scour the Internet for stories of interest to officials and select the five our staff finds most compelling.
No "printed" officiating magazine could provide such a service. An issue of that monthly magazine you get in March contains news from January. Talk about a late whistle....
Drop in every weekday for breaking news.
Oh, if a big story pops up on the weekend, depend on us to put that up at once.
If you're a sports official, plan to make us your first stop on the surf each day.

So Officiating.com is awesome because every weekday there are new news stories for us to read?
A news story titled "NFHS Announces Officers of the NIAAA" was put out on 1-26-05. The next news story, "NFHS Coaches of the Year" does not appear untill 3-14-05. (Remember the news section covers all sports) I really am glad that I made the news section the first stop on my surf every day. I really enjoyed no new stories for a month and a half. What happned to new stories "every weekday"?

Rich, email me, I have something for you.
