Lets do some more #2

So please clarify, if you would:

If the runner has tarried too long away from the plate but is now hustling cheek to get back, can an appeal be met by merely touching the plate, or must the runner be tagged?

I can think of several different answers(yes, no, maybe, and depends(for old guys)). But if I wanted my answer I wouldn't ask you........
