This is so unnecessary and ruined what could have been an educational and informative post. I am not an ASA umpire (yet), but the education provided by the ASA to their umpires has been significant in terms of my education as an umpire primarily from this forum.
If your only reason to be registered in this forum is to slam ASA, you are probably wasting your time because most of the Blues here are loyal and you won't change their minds. I would suggest that you register with blogspot.com and set up an anti ASA blog so that those who care and want to read your rants will have an opportunity to do so. Blogspot also provides a comments section so that other umps who read your blogs can respond.
Even though you have only been here for a little over a year, at least you can say it was eventful. After you get your new blog set up, why don't you come here one last time and let us know what the web address is so that we can visit it and read what you have to say there.

Ed, it's been nice knowing you and farewell.
