Jim, you and I have discussed issues previously on this board and corresponded via email as well. Having said that, I will say that the comments in your post are even more unnecessary than some of those you were offended by. Bluezebra pops off at everybody. No need to be offended by him. Tell people you're too lazy to look something up and then snap at them when you catch some flak. Not too smart, IMHO.
BTW, I agree with Big Whistle. A piece of paper is NOT a mechanical device. If it was, coaches wouldn't be allowed to diagram plays on a paper on the sideline. A piece of poster board is simply a piece of paper.
Good luck this season. Glad you're having fewer problems this year.
PS - Here's another stereotype. "All coaches think they're officials!"
