Lets see, I have a software question. I wonder where the best place to find an answer would be? Of course, I'll join an officiating forum and ask those guys...... The light does not burn brightly

I wonder where Willmiller would go if he had a softball question?

I'll give him this... he has set the record for the most OT post in recent memory!

I was initially suspicious this was the first of a multi-post SPAM, where "another" poster comes along and answers his "question" with what amounts to an ad for the better firewall, but he doesn't seem to have spammed the other boards...

He has the option of several forums that deal with operating systems, printers, high-speed internet, Windows glitches, software compatibility, Microsoft programs, etc.

For umpire mechanics, I have also found extremely useful a forum on archeological digs in the Middle East: www.archeology.com/MiddleEast/ancientsportsandgames/softball/officials/positioning

He snuck a link into his post which eventually goes to a server that says
