[kellerumps]

I have never, to best of my knowledge, met LB. I don't know Alabamablue, TexUmp, or even you(once again to the best of my knowledge...but we do travel quite a bit and have met many many great people in the process).

I will say this as a witness for LB, I have read many of their postings for the past year, including the infamous "Foul or Fair" 08/21/02 threads. Sometimes LB was incorrect, sometimes Alabamablue, sometimes TexUmp, in any case on the "10th Season Wrap-Up" 10/28/02 and the "Helmask for Softball" 10/29/02 threads posts got downright personal on all fronts. I think everybody was wrong.

In the "Helmask for Softball" thread Alabama Blue made reference to the "Foul or Fair" thread from months earlier. This post is dated 10/31/02. After that it turned ugly and personal. These 2 threads are the ones that have caused me to come over to this board.

Now then, I will admit that we have posted just a few times as "Kellerumps" at McGriff's site, we mainly lurked. That name was only used in a very private and exclusive group that we belong to. Since then my wife and I(our name is plural) have decided to expand it's use and be more proactive in our study this "Off Season".

We did study the posts on this board and decided that it was more "Civil" and "Professional". Please challenge us and expect the same in return, however, let's not let debates degrade into the personal attacks that took place on McGriffs site.
