I would rather know that that is who you are, accept the ruling, and apply it in the future.
If you are another umpire with a different opinion, your thoughts are appreciated but do not represent ASA (in my case).
I learn from all discussions, but I feel some are left open-ended and I, for one, would really appreciate a final "correct" ruling.

Well, pretty much the only uber umpire in Irish. The rest of use are just schmucks of varying levels. I would guess probably Altumpsteve is 2nd in the ASA hierarchy here, but still, hes not at the rank a Irish, but hes been around. If you got altumpsteve and irish telling you youre wrong, you can pretty much take it to the bank. Dakota is no slouch. I think Bigslick is pretty good on the NCAA stuff...
If WMB agrees with you, thats another good way to know ur wrong.
The rest of us, we just like to complicate it, if only for something to do.
