I know. And I remember working with guys that were too heavy. But gordon's point is that it is unreasonable and perhaps illegal to set a weight standard for an official's association, and I simply disagree with that.

It's not unreasonable to have some non-arbitrary figure at which the association says, "You know what, we just don't think you can help us". I don't think that's unreasonable. What's the figure? I don't know. 30% above the AMA's recommended ideal weight? 40%? 50%? I don't know. But to dismiss such an idea as unreasonable is, I think, unreasonable.

And for M&M, the retirement party is definitely BYObp, b/c you won't find any at my house. Blech. I'll supply the Diet Coke -- as soon as any 300 pounder can beat me from endline to endline.
