Just continuing to run is not enough. The rule says, "continuing to run
and drawing a throw" ...
An example would be if the runner continued to run to 3B, and the fielder, confused as to whether he was out, threw to F5, instead of completing the double play by throwing to F3.
Since the normal play would be for the fielder at second to throw to F3 anyway, I don't see how your runner was drawing a throw, unless the throw was to try to tag the runner out, rather than to F3 to force the batter-runner out.
As has been said, you saw the play. A retired runner running to confuse the defense is an intentional act & would qualify as interference.
However, a confused runner by himself is not interference, even if he causes a fielder to muff a play.

The little "quote" button will copy the message next to the button into your reply with the "Originally posted by..." and formatting stuff.
Other stuff, such as blue fonts and different font sizes, etc. is done with HTML tags. These can be found at various web sites. Try searching for "HTML tags" and see what comes up. I could also email a text file to you with some of them if you want.
