Clearly, like so many other media guru's, you are caught up into to your own world of greatness and find it difficult to believe that some people don't care about what you have written or believe it, just because you have put it in print.

Clearly what we have here is a Correspondent that goes to print, WITHOUT checking there facts.

NOW, how are we to believe the validity of your other works?

I don't consider myself a "media guru"; just another official with something to offer from experience. My experience of researching the rules showed that there are actually 4 occasions when a perceived tie is clearly decided by the rule wording, and I shared that finding in the subject article. Some people would have no doubt have found that helpful. Go figure.

My comment that has obviously lit your wick was a reflection that NONE of the posters in this thread were apparently aware that the article even existed, because they were referring to only 2 instances where the rules differed on who gets the benefit of any perceived tie. The fact was noted with some curiousity, but not contempt. A pity you cannot react in the same fashion.

If you don't care about what I have written, no problem. Your track record is even worse with me! I don't care whether you "believe the validity of (my) other works" or not. I still get paid anyway. At least I know the difference between "there" and "their" in the English language! Obviously you need to read a whole lot more to improve your skills in that area!

Cheers
