I wasn't, but this comment is confusing:

The only time the ball is not dead is if the runner will actually be out on the tag

When would that be?

I think he meant a play where something supersedes the OBS, like INT or ...

That's even MORE confusing... There is no tag out on an interference out (but yes, the ball ceases to be delayed dead ball).

Waiting for youngump's explaination.

I had the concept, some other type of out than the OBS runner tagged while protected, guessed wrong on his example.

I meant if the runner has achieved the protected base and there's been a subsequent play on another runner. Consequently the runner is actually out when tagged. And since the runner is out we have no need to kill the play.

Got it.
I'm a little slow, I guess and didn't deduce that from what was written.
Thanks for the clarification.
