Well it should technically be a foul for illegal formation every time it happens. Call it whatever you want...call it "Violating the ethical principles of the 9 yard marks, the natural order according to God and it's effect on humanity" if you want to. The point is, if there is no advantage gained, it's not going to be called. Same with a simple hold away from the point of attack. Same with...gasp...an illegal substitution when a replaced player is trying to get off the field and he is only a couple of steps from the sideline when the ball is snapped. Convoluting the rule and trying to bend it to make it fit your twisted notion of illegal substitution doesn't mean it will magically be called all the time. You're still waiting with bated breath for a "consistent" application of butt blocking.
Why do you care so much? It's like you just discovered a new "issue" with the rules and much like a child with a shiny new trinket, you have to show everybody what you found.
So are all of these messages spiral bound, comb bound or loose leaf in a three ring binder? Maybe you had them put in an eBook for your Kindle?
