Nothing personal was intended. I should have had a "patient enter key"
Been there, done that, bought me a closet full of them tshirts.

I have sometimes argued a position for hours on end, only to find out I was flat out wrong. Dangit! Painful, but a useful learning experience. And I have done the same only to find out that there really was no one right answer. Double dangit! Not fair. Also painful. But usually a good learning experience in the end too.

My understanding of the closely guarded rule has grown through this discussion. Thanks for your time and thoughts. And for making me think and even work a little.

That's it? It's over? Now let's all sit around the campfire and sing a couple of choruses of "Kumbaya". Who brought the S'mores? Thank God JurassicReferee isn't around to see this. I think I'm gonna barf.

We reached a stale mate. We need to address the question in a different "path" (No pun intended).
We are still researching; " whether the rules state that LGP is required before a count can start". People ideas and comments are usefull in helping the thought process and as such they should be appreciated. If you or JurassicReferee have a definitive answer to this obvioulsy involved question I would be very interested in your thoughts, Maturity suggests that people are thanked for their time and patience in sharing thoughts.

If you have to "barf" please do it off the court.

I am learning the forum mannerisms and so are many others. Like everything else in life you have a choice. Putting a pointless statement does not serve any one.

If I mis-understood your post main trust , I truely appologies; but barfing too me means you might have a stomach issue in which I would suggest you read all about Ginger

Ginger, Mary Ann -- really, the only other option is the Professor.

I'll never be able to think of the phrase "taking ginger" in the same way again.

At the risk of veering OT for a second...Do they still make Schaefer? True story...first time I ever got intoxicated was from rusty cans of Schaefer I stole from the basement when I was 15. No telling how long my old man had them there.

I just bought a six pack yesterday. I reward myself with an ice cold Schaefer after mowing the lawn on a hot summer day. My late father used to drink Schaefer, and now ever time I drink a cold one, it reminds me of him.

Mary Ann. No question.

She isn't quite as hot at 70 years old, though.
