Answer to second one-question test

[oregonblue]

I have learned a lot about baseball matters in perusing this thread. That is good. Not so good is what I percieve to be unnecessary and untoward taking of offense by a few posters.

So all of you learned umpires, for those of us who want to learn more, don't be so rabbit eared. Ignore the implications of commentary by other posters. Don't default to inferring insults.

No intent to impugn your experience or integrity as an umpire and rules guru, Carl, but shouldn't you, as an Editor of this Board, accept that some of us may disagree with you. Avoid seeing opposing opinions as personal attacks and do not engage in public displays of animosity. Just my 2 cents.
