One is supposed to play the Ball here
Bob, to take that sporting analogy onto the football field (association, not american rules). Reading your posts is a bit like watching Arsenal (and this analogy will fail miserably if they actually beat Hull in the final)!
There is lots of playing of the ball but little chance of a goal. I can't work out whether you are ever going to take a shot, let alone score!
I find an number of your questions genuinely interesting, but I'm not quite sure what the point of them is! We can all just keep asking why? but it doesn't take the debate very far.
Why don't you make a proposition just to give me an idea of your motivation. If it is just to keep winding us Brits up, that's fine, sometimes we deserve it.
However, if there is some point you are trying to make (other than there should be less rules), then I haven't got it yet?
