P.S. Suppref, I just checked the IAABO website. Norwalk, is in Board #9, and Board #9's Intepreter/Trainer is Lou Filippetti, and Lou is a personal friend of mine, so you had better have the correct answer for the Forum.
Wow. That is so far out of line it makes me wonder what the association is doing putting the likes of this guy on a rules committee. He's actually threatening a poster on an internet forum with going to his buddy the interpreter because he doesn't like the poster's commentary? The poster "better have the correct answer" because the interpreter is a friend of his?

Nonsense such as this hurts the credibility of all of us. Getting a rule wrong is one thing; it happens and, as well all know, most officials question their own rulings as much as anyone who sees them or hears of them. But threatening retribution for an event you weren't involved in on the basis of internet forum postings is reprehensible and inexcusable.
