Forum Ettiquette

I'm sure that there are many Forum members who only want to discuss issues on officiating, and absolutely nothing else that could distract them from those issues, probably a very high percentage, and at one time, in the past, I was one of those members, but I've changed my opinion.

But not everyone. There is, at least, one member who disagrees: "Lame jokes have a place in a forum. They give a forum a sort of personality." Charles Michael “Mick” Chambers (1947-2010)

Warning: Please do not click on the link, below, unless you want to view an on topic, but not basketball related, video. Old timers may enjoy it, younguns may learn something, most will certainly hate it. Being just a little younger than Mick, I'm going to guess that he would like it, but I never had the pleasure, or honor, to know Mick in person, so I'm probably wrong. If you choose to open the link, and you find it distasteful, offensive, or worse, a waste of time, then simply close the video and it will magically go away, probably going somewhere into cyberspace. If you have dial-up internet access, or pay for your internet access by the minute, then you may not want to open the link. To those members who are more curious than a cat, well, deal with it, but I do promise that the video, probably, won't kill you (unless your modem, or computer, gets struck by lightning while you're viewing the video, but that's an act of God, and it wouldn't be my fault). Please note that I chose to post the link rather than to embed the link. The link takes up less space on your tiny computer monitors, and probably takes up less bandwidth, but I'm not sure about that.
