You guys crack me up. The posts on this board are all over the spectrum from clueless, ignorant, informative, nasty, useful etc. Guess what.... so are the people who write the posts. I fell victim to the "sillyness" a couple of weeks back and now I just sit back and laugh about it. The key is to not only consider the source but also the writing CONTENT of that source.
I remember a guy who once told me... "Sal, I've been umpiring since you were in a crib" (about 25 yrs). At the time, I thought well I guess he really knows what he's talking about. As time went on and I got more training, I realized that this guy, who judged his ability and knowledge of umpiring according to the number of years on the field, had been making the SAME mistakes, over and over again, for the past 25+ years. Experience can be deceiving but what a man preaches and practices is not.
