Give A Man A Fish And He'll Eat For A Day ...
Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day. (George Carlin)
Quote:
However, I do lean toward the information posted in threads and posts on the Forum to be a twenty-first century reference source, the same as the information printed on dead trees was back in the twentieth century. I equate coming to the Forum for information to be almost the same as cracking open a book, especially as more and more are asking Siri, and Alexa for information. "Alexa. Are successive timeouts legal in a basketball game?" Gone forever are the times down at the local gin joint when the debate of the night would be who shared one the three parts of the triple crown with Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. No need to go to the library, or even own a computer, just find the answer on a smart phone, and you don't even have to drop a dime in the phone (Google it young'uns). A search engine is almost like the table of contents, or the index, in a reference book.

You could have done the same. Check your post #13. I copied/pasted from you.
You were very helpful then and even more helpful now.

I disagree in that I would be "wrong". I would honor the case play ruling but I also feel that the case and rule conflict. Much the like the recent BC discussions where officials feel the same.

You Can Look It Up (Casey Stengel) ...
No conflict, based on the meaning of the word "either" (being the one or the other of two). Just ask either Siri, or Alexa. It's not anything like the recent backcourt discussions. Not even close.

Alexa, Are You Single ???
I was thinking about asking one of them out on a date.

I haven't tried with Alexa, but Siri usually responds with something along the lines of "I think we should just be friends." Maybe you can get out of the friend zone.

Or, It's Not You, It's Me ...
If I only had a dollar for every time that I heard that?
I blame it all on that old Carole King / James Taylor song.

"Hammerin' Harmon" ...
Harmon Killebrew. He and Yaz both had forty-four home runs to lead the American League in 1967.
