There is one of these that I don't understand. The speaking captain. I will listen to any player on the floor, if they are respectful in the way they address me. I won't listen to any players for long if they aren't respectful, regardless of their status as "speaking captain"....along those lines, if the speaking captain is not on the floor, do you no longer entertain questions from the floor??? Some of the guys I work with here ask for speaking captains, but to me it is just a waste of good oxygen...
