Guys, at least TRY and stay on topic.

Mark Padgett gets a free pass on anything he posts on the Forum. The moderators will give the same consideration to any other Forum member with a pig's heart. Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. also gets a free pass, but for a different reason. He's the only Forum member who actually officiated a game with Dr. James Naismith. It's true. It's true.

And we did create an off-topic forum where *all* of the OT nonsense is perfectly on topic...and can be ignored by those who wish to ignore.

And we realized this, which is why things have tightened up.

I get we all want to have a friendly atmosphere, but I'd like to think most of us are concerned about discussing something we enjoy doing but also take seriously.

Taboo in my neck of the woods.

More than once during Area Meetings has our area supervisor told the group to get to the reporting area, stop, and use one hand to report numbers.

Addendum: Strict instructions not to turn the hand when showing "11" or "22", etc.

The funny thing is, APG was responding to posts that were deleted. The stuff that remains wasn't the issue.

Sorry, I might be dyslexic

Just curious, but those of you that do use two hands, do you indicate the first digit with your right hand and the second with your left, so that for '14' the scorer sees a 'one' on THEIR left and the 'four' on THEIR right? I've seen some get this backwards...I know they think they are signalling '14', but the bookkeeper's seeing '41'. Then some are verbalizing "one...four" and others are saying "fourteen". Some standard of consistency would be good.
