Thank you Jerry and I like that bit about the hockey referee. You pretty much captured how I like to think I approach the CR rule enforcement. I was not brought up watching hockey, I instead learned about it in recent years but I certainly like that parallel. I am NOT willing to let you folks fight though! Ho ho ho
