stoppage of the clock

I agree that he was just looking to get someone to give the answer he liked so he could print it off and go complain.

My point was that if you are going to work a game for someone, you do it by their rules or you don't work it. This doesn't make those of us who choose (as you don't) to work these games somehow less than you or others who don't choose to work these games. If you don't like their rules ... don't work. Not a big deal. But don't belittle those who do.

I do admit there are a lot of people working these games that do so solely for the money (and some of these guys really suck, and don't care that they suck). However, there are also a good number who are young and trying to get better at their craft. And there are those who are already very good at their job that simply like being there for the kids and their local leagues.
