Maybe I should have put IMHO in there. Maybe that would make things better. My bad. Just my opinion.

How about I use your exact words. You said there is "no reason" to not use a lanyard. Care to express why your opinion is the be-all, end-all of the subject?

That's what a discussion board is about -- commenting on posts. Personal comments -- not so much (but it happens).

Unless someone is working the NBA or D-League (or whatever), I agree there's no reason to not use a lanyard. That's not the same as saying that not wearing one is, in and of itself, "wrong."

Where the supervisor (or whoever ) says "work without a lanyard."

Sometimes things aren't read the way they're written. (Don't I know it.)

You meant that a guy who 1) worked without a lanyard also 2) drew attention to himself

It was read (by some) as a guys who work without a lanyard draw attention to themselves.

It's true that some officials try to "big-time" others. They might do so by wearing a college jacket, or the college wide-striped shirt, or discussing the "big V game they had last week" while working a rec league game, or by working without a whistle. They are usually found out. But, not all who do any of those items are "those" types of officials.

Yes, this type of official is who I call a "hot shot." Like I said in another thread, which you so quickly dismissed...

I don't know that I dismissed anything in that other thread. As far as I can recall, my only comments were that you and who you called "hot shots" were mistaken about the patient whistle philosophy and that they might also be "over applying" the Tower principle.

I agree that that thread was possibly one where what you meant was not what was read by others -- "Hot Shots, who happened to go to camp" vs "all who go to camp are hot shots."

I reliaze that this was a typo, but, nevertheless, I would pay big bucks to see this.
