Attitude and courtesy.

I truly love this officiating board...came here from the basketball board because I started the task of learning softball and want to get things right...what i learned from the basketball board is that our mentors want us to spend time in the rules book followed up with case book situations...someone said it takes more than calling strikes and balls ,that the responsibility still lies with us to study...some questions seem stupid to us only because our experience has taught us differently...should they make this hard for us...maybe...should we come on this board and ask questions that might seem like no thought or study gone into it...no way...Ive ask some stupid questions and recieved some good advice... book study has at times overwelmed me because it shows no matter what you think you know you dont know...but to show respect to our mentors we should try to cite situations with some rules and book knowledge....thank you all for contributing to this most excellent discussion board.
