Good points. I have often gone to the Internet and the various discussion boards when a controversial issue comes up that isn't in the rule book.
While I have learned a great deal from the Internet and the discussion boards in particular, there is a gigantic problem with discussion boards that has been discussed before and I don't know how to solve it.
I can ask a question such as "Does it take three strikes to make an out?" and get 67 responses with 67 different answers. Even when it's plain and simple in the rulebook, some don't agree with the rule or believe it should be interpreted differently.
So, in summation, it's hard to learn from the discussion board if the answer to the question isn't already in the rulebook. You get too many different answers, from various "Big Dogs." How do you know which ones to listen to?
