Yea, it is. And some of us whose minds run like yours (asking lots of weird questions is our way of probing and understanding an issue) haven't been disturbed by your "absurdity". But in general, only socratic questioning is practiced, and when a "student" (ie someone who doesn't understand something) uses "explorational inquiry", JR and Dan can get a little crusty. There are a couple of others who respond this way, but they're not on here quite as much. Rutledge can sound crusty sometimes, but it's just a ruse. He's just enjoys a good argument.
I, for one, appreciate your concern for the game, and your interest in nailing down the details. It's good for all of us to shine the flashlight into the nooks and crannies of the rules, and see what's hiding in there.
Don't worry. If you crack a good locker room joke, and tell them to "Shut up" a couple times, you'll find yourself fitting right in. Also, the current acceptable expletive on this board is "Bruce" as in, "You're being a Bruce-head" and "We got Bruced".
