This new rule makes about as much sense and has been thought out about as much as post 9/11 anti-terrorist legislation.

Suppose one’s opponent hits a drop shot. One would have to scamper from the back of the court to the front and then scamper back again in order to be far back enough to be behind the bounce of the oponents return. Insanity in it’s purest ten times filtered essence.

Also I despute that claim that dod invented crud. I’m sure I was present at it’s birth (not to claim it as my own) and also at it’s naming – it was originally and mistakenly thought to be a inferior form of tennis – hence crud. Perhaps we should correct this and rename it something along the lines of “qualitae” or “ameliorated tennis”
