You are correct - there is not near the message volume here on the
VB forum that there is on the basketball or softball forums that I look at also.
But there are also not the annual off-topic baseball threads, the flame wars over whether or not wearing a belt makes you a good offical or not, or some of the tangents that seem to shoot off posts on the other forums.
On this forum, there is a small group of officials and two very knowlegeable and accomplished folks (Jan and Felix) that are willing to share what they have learned for all three major rulesets (HS, NCAA, USAV). Discussions here usually stay on topic and rarely continue to a second page. It's a good source of accurate information, just not as much as a social gathering as some of the other forums.
It is what it is......
