Lighten up, Francis.
Putting a single word in all caps is not "disrespectful" or even yelling (putting whole sentences in caps is yelling). It's the way I type to stress a word.
Good grief.
As to the topic at hand, I don't work FED rules. The issue doesn't arise in games I work (except, as mentioned above, when I work with a referee who learned his craft in Fedlandia, and will not change his ways).
I'm not in any hurry - my pace is good. I just think it's a waste of time to "discuss" anything when there is no doubt at all about the outcome of the "discussion". (Note that I'm not saying that your mechanics are wrong as far as the rule goes - I'm saying the rule is silly)
And the next time I see a college official ask a captain whether he wants 1st and 5 instead of 1st and 10 will be the first time.
