What if the first 76 posts were soccer questions?

I think it's fair to give a bit of a hard time to someone who posts a question that is not only easy to find the answer to in the book, but is specifically called out as a specific example.

Too many are too lazy to look anything up. They want an easy answer. Trust me, if this is truly an umpire and he doesn't have the answer to THIS question, he needs FAR more training before being let loose on the field. There are difficult topics that take a while to digest - questions on those get a free pass. But THIS one is one of a number of truly basic ideas that need to be grasped as second nature before you even buy your first hat.

What has soccer questions have to do with a baseball forum? I realize that this website caters to many different officials, however, I would like to think that the designers would have thought about that element when they designed the board.

If not, oh well. Life is like a beach, it's nice to lay out in the sun, play in the sand and surf, watch all the scantily clad ladies go by, but eventually you're gonna get burned, or you'll need a towell to soak up your drool.

The forum counts the number of total posts, not posts specific to a sport.
