Fair enough, I did not intend to tell you how to post, nor did mean any disrespect. Excuss me if it did. However, I do believe that we should answere these questions.

I agree they are tedious and many times stupid questions, heck, I've asked many dump questions and still do. In my opinion, it's part of the learning process . Maybe the solution is to set a forum that allows these elementary questions to be asked and then answered by better umpires. Could that be apart of the "Voice of the Customer" post? Why not, we all started somewhere. To add to that thought, that would alow these quesitons to directed to an alternate forum and keep this cleared for other questions that assume an equal understanding of the rules and mechanics of being a good umpire.

By chance, did you write the Constitution?
