obstruction-I think we need the call improved somehow

[chuck chopper]

Calm down. I enjoy the discussions. Having a beef with a rule doesn't mean I call it some other way however. But I am searching for other opinions/perspectives that might shed light on what the "spirit" of the rule is or what it was when the GODS wrote it. Maybe since so many variations could come up, we thought it best to give the obstructed runner blanket protection..since that is easy to police/enforce/understand.
