tonycap - just to set the record straight, I never quoted anything from the NHSF rule book (whatever that is). Occasionally, I quote from the NFHS rule book, but not in this instance.

On a serious note, I agree that the remarks denigrating Kentucky and Poland were out of line (well, Poland, anyway). I would hope that, even if we resort to "put-down humor" here (and I admit, I am an offender), we should take the high road and stay away from anything ethnic or racial.

Just FYI, both those books are nowhere close to the number of pages I described, I was just playing along with everyone else.
On a good note, you have a great sense of humor.
