> [@harmless](#): > > [junior reffing]Actually, looking back, you were the last legal touch as **Greenback** forgot to call the name of who it came from.[/jr] Hmm… looks like Sternvogel got it legitimately from you, who kicked off, so I guess I’ll get the ball from Sternvogel and take it to the goal! ---

> [@CandidGamera](#): > > \*\*Greenback \*\*had the last legal possession, so I’ll take it from there to the GOAL! If this score stands, we now have a 7-6 lead; if not, my reception of **harmless** ’s kick was the last legal play, and **Greenback** ’s subsequent post (as well as all following it) are immaterial. So if one of the **Toddies** is the next poster, you can go for a one-pointer and the lead! ---

It’s not easy to ref while on a conference call with some of the company’s top dogs, but I _am_ trying to follow along. And it seems to be that you’re correct, **Sternvogel**. God, I wish these people would shut up and let me off the phone already! ---
