Are you kidding? Your "alternative way" is no more "rule-correct" than what ocurred in the OP. You can't warn someone against doing something legal.

but making comments about my umpiring ability does not help those who come to this board looking for help.
Within those comments I observed a correct intepretation of the rule. That is not the case in you posts. Which is more likely to help a novice, the one that has the rule right, or yours?
