This is getting so tired. Persons above posting with their (given? who really knows) names do so according to their choice. WHO cares?

Persons like BJ Moose, His Holiness (the real one, not the fake wussy man here), and most others have chosen a name because they can. Who cares again?

I consider any handle to represent a real and legit person if it is associated with an EMAIL that I can reach, and if they establish some longevity.

Of course, MOST of the morons and flamers/stalkers on McGriff are idiots. We know ANYONE can post there under any name, this kills credibility in most cases.

But for crying out loud, a real umpire CAN participate in these forums as.. JOE Q. BLOW, and is entitled to the same courtesy and respect as QUINCY R. REALNAME is.

I AM NOT HIDING.. anyone want to email me.... click the freakin button. LOOK AT MY PROFILE, I'm not making this stuff up.

Now, I agree.. Hotmail blows... but to allude that I have less credibility because my email is @yahoo.com is idiotic. My ISP sucks... Yahoo mail works fantastic, is very fast, and I can segregate my UMP stuff from biz and personal. Sheesh......
