I mean 2, going on 3 pages?
Really?

Oh, stop your whining. Nobody is twisting your arm to read any of this. If you don't like it - don't read it! Grow up.
These are the places to "over think" things. If not here - then where?
Discussions between umpires on technical matters are often academic for the purposes of understanding nuances and rare interpretations. That's why one of the STUPIDEST things an umpire can say in an internet discussion of a rule between umpires is "That would never happen in a game" or "I've never seen that happen in my life". That is code for "I really don't understand the details of the rule."
Find something else to concern yourself with other than how much I type or how many pages a thread takes up. What - are you printing them out and wasting ink on your printer? Besides, it's nothing to me since I can type like the wind. Shall I use simpler words for you?
I would say that your posting in this forum FAR exceeds my own - by orders of magnitude - and I could care less. Type away for all I care! That's the beauty of the internet - you can participate or not participate to whatever extent you desire. But to complain about it is the height of immaturity.
In fact, your first contribution to this thread may have been the most pointless post of them all.
