As opposed to that undeserved sarcasm ...
 
And I fail to see any of the above in my aforementioned message ...
 
But anyway, I'm not getting into a flame war with you in public.  Feel free to
point out examples from my glorious track record ... any instance where I stated
something I thought was wrong and was proven otherwise, I always admitted.
 
Sorry if the frustration from trying to explain things comes through, but after
messages to HOCKEY-L from someone at the NCAA and 2 other people with rulebooks
in hand, people still are doubting the rule.
 
Others are able to hide their frustration and respond with more "tact" ... I
can't.  I apologize to most, but not to you Greg.
