It must have been one hell of a discussion.

Warren----you are not a quitter. Don't disappoint the others and me who frequent this and other boards. Trust my sincerity when I say I think you are well respected and a major asset to his method of communication and learning.

As said previously, people are here to learn. I want to hear what Warren has to say. learn from it, yet respect it if I disagree with it. But what I really want to hear is what Warren thinks and believes-----not the phraseology of how Warren can present a view that if reflective of a "team" philosophy and worded to asssure it is not upsetting others on his team.

Warren, while umpiring I am sure you had the days when it seemed everyone jumped on your zone. It didn't necessarily mean your zone was bad or you should quit umpiring. It probably caused you to do a little self re-evaluation though. Warren, have you heard the crowd complainin' about the zone? Go talk about it with your partners. Reconfirm. Maybe your partners need to re-look at their zones too. Then make your decisions.

I think you enjoy the learning and the method and hope you will stay. Additionally, should you elect to leave, we would all suspect (and hope) you will return with a pseudonym. I want to see you here.

BTW, if you elect to use a pseudonym-----watch out where you put the "z" and "s"------could be a dead giveaway! (grin)
