Representing, I think what Nevada is trying to say is do not post until you look it up yourself. You have been a member of this site for 2 months max and have over 400 posts. That is more posts than I have in 7 years on this site (and I officiate football and baseball too). It is a fabulous site to learn from but not if people are posting wrong rulings.

Be a lurker for a bit and listen to the vets on here (you'll know who they are after awhile). That and learning from your mistakes is how you're going to learn.

Your pattern of posting goes like this: somebody posts a question, you post an answer off the top of your head, that answer's wrong and you're called on it, you post "my bad."

Why not skip that initial post and just look up the answer first? Just a suggestion.
