It went out with the 19th Amendment.

Mike,

Like others have said, we were all there at one time. I found your post somewhat hard to read. I don't think I'm alone and that is why some people didn't understand what you mean. The other thing, if you don't think he did a good job, why tell him he did? I have a growing list of things we do as officials for the sake of tradition that are useless. Telling someone they did a good job instead of "nice working with you" or being honest is on that list. Who does it help to tell someone something that isn't true?

I almost always say "nice working with you," because it's almost always true. Whether I worked with a rookie on his 2nd game, or a veteran in his 42nd year, I typically enjoy myself.

It sounds like you are saying you enjoy working the game which is something I can agree with. There have been partners that I absolutely do not enjoy working with. IMO, those are two different things.

Sorry, the important qualifier was "almost." There are exceptions, and I don't say "nice working with you" on those occasions. I'm not into lying.

Then we agree. I get the impression that the OP did not enjoy working with this officials, but said it anyway. Like you, I'm not going to lie.

Those reports have been exaggerated, greatly.
