The Internet - Has it

[Striker991]

As a relative newbee on this board and others, I have found that the input of everyone has been extremely helpful. The input of just a few would limit my view on the topics, and therefore limit how I might handle certain situations. Even when there is distinct disagreement, both sides usually present valid arguments that are helpful to me when it comes time for me to face those issues. It is important to me to understand, at times, how situations are handled at different levels. This board has been EXTREMELY helpful there. It is also helpful to me to understand how a new umpire dealt with a situation, because it will often be quite different than how a seasoned veteran might embrace it.
As has been pointed out before, I tend to shy away from the "third world" plays, unless they are humorous, entertaining, and I have the time to read them. By the time I ever came across one, I probably would forget what I read here anyway.
So, I guess my answer to the original topic would be that I would run my board quite similar to this one. The free-flow of opinions, ideas, mechanics, and interpretations has helped me tremendously. And, it is fairly easy to identify that which is merely entertainment and skip over it to enjoy it later at my leisure.
And Tim, my rulebook has just found its rightful place in my truck. Thanks. I'm not, however, ready to give up my indicator on the bases. That, I'm sure, will come with time.
