Open letter to the moderator

[SeanWest]

I meant no disrepect to my fine Canadian colleagues and their rich football history.

The reason I filter out (in my mind) the messages that discuss Canadian rulings is that as a rookie official I have a hard enough time making sure I know the rules I'm supposed to be enforcing without confusing the issue by trying to compare and contrast an entirely different set of rules. I could have just as easily said the same thing about NCAA rules.

My point was that while that discussion may not be directly relevant to me, at least it is on topic and within the scope of the thread. The other business that we've been discussing has no place here.
