Well,
I guess I kind of have crossed over, but that really started to happen a while ago.
I suppose I am an umpire now, but I'm certainly not as good an umpire as I'd like to be. I'm working on it.
Despite the points raised in PeteBooth's very interesting thread
Umpiring is not that difficult, I would say it's not that easy either.
As to my nickname, I've been "CoachJM" since I started posting on these boards. I'm kind of a stickler in regard to my own behavior in regard to what I consider proper etiquette when posting on boards such as this. Part of that is not posting under different nicknames. I haven't figured out how to "change" my nickname (so that my previous posts could still be attributed to me) without creating a new nickname. So, for the time being, I'll remain CoachJM.
JM
