Sounds good to me. Think i'll try it.

And with that said... Do any of you have problems with your local news media??? There's one local paper that often seems to be critical of the officiating... But maybe it's just because of the sport's editor's limited vocabulary. The lines seemed to be the same dispite the sport he's covering.... I think our first clue came when he talked about the "Horrible Calls" that were made during a 1600 meter run last spring...
Our association's policy is just to ignore it... Letters to the editor, slashing of tires and spray painting graffitti all over his '68 Nissan Sentra have been discouraged...
Last season, one of our local varsity coaches made some comments to the press about a close home loss. Essentially, he blamed the officials for one call that cost his team the game. What he failed to mention to the press was the fact that his team did not score in the 3rd quarter.
