None of us should ever stop trying to learn. And you learn by simply reading the threads posted here or asking questions and then listening to and
comprehending the responses. And whether that response came from the rawest rookie or not, you should still evaluate it to see if you can maybe find a nugget of gold amongst the doo-doo. And it's certainly not a bad idea before responding to take the time to confirm that your response is correct by using one of the accepted sources of knowledge...the rule book, case book, officiating manuals and any official handouts available. You'll learn more by looking the answer up than by being constantly corrected for screwing up yet another response.
Continually posting incorrect answers doesn't do that poster or anybody reading his posts any good at all.
You are wise beyond your years, Smitty....
