Too funny, Devs.
I, too, think that sheer LL stuff should not fly here. Toward the end of my umping days (now), I do only LL, but as someone else said, I like the quality of answers and expertrise here.
PLUS, much LL stuff DOES fall under OBR. Many of my sitches have ocurred at LL level; I just don't mention that.
There is a full-fledged LL board on Yahoo. I just ignore the "fair or foul" posts and the like.
And yes, many LL umps are a bit tetchy. Most of the smitties I know go near a computer about as often as they watch McNeil Lehrer. I ran into one the other who bellowed out "MY TIME" when he wanted to brush off the dish.
