Oh I don't know, I followed it just fine.

I know I know...I just prefer it the other way.

The rest of your post I agree with except...if R1 scored before the interference, wouldn't the run count?

I forgot to put "probably R1" in parenthesis. The OP says that all of the runners held at their bases to tag up, so I didn't think that R1 would have reached HP yet, since R3 had yet to make it to 2B before B4 interfered.

the runner on 3rd did reach home b4 anyone reached 2nd, he was fast and both the BR and R3 were slow, and i believe R3 actually left the base a little bit and had to go back and tag after the catch.

In that case, since the INT happened after the runner had scored, you would call R2 out (the runner, not the droid - the droid has that zappy thing that zaps you). 8-7-P does not say that it's the runner closest to home at the time of the pitch, so it's the runner closest to home at the time of INT.

Good point, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.
