I never even knew this board existed, although I suspected that "there must be some kind of chat room for refs".
It's been a really valuable tool for me this season. The knowledge expressed on this board is impressive, especially the nuts and bolts stuff like rulebook cases. The opinions are also useful, especially those heated discussions with 4-page threads.
As for the "cop thing", up in Canada we have mostly Royal Canadian Mounted Police, or RCMP, or "The Mounties". I know several RCMP officers, and none of them find the word "cop" offensive. I was always taught it was short for "Constable On Patrol". Naturally the Pork references are a different story, (as are the doughnut analogies).
