Here is the thing about the internet, much of this information is available for those who wish to seek it out. So, in order to spare you ever posting scores, points or standings of any kind ever again here is the link for all of those who give two craps about how teen girls are playing soccer:

http://www.eliteclubsnationalleague.com/mid-atlantic-standings-2018-19/

So, now that the mystery of where the standings are posted is revealed, you can rest assured, that anyone who is interested in such information are now able to go there themselves.[/quote]

I appreciate the work of the reporting function, I don't have to source, search, sort, tabulate and collate. It's good work and kudos to the person making our lives a bit easier.[/quote]

Yeah -- speaking as a journalist, sometimes the things we do aren't rocket science or brain surgery. We're just putting everything in one place. At one extreme, you could probably spend days gathering the data that ProPublica gathers for a typical story, and if you know some data science, you could do the same analysis they do. I'm guessing most of us don't have the time to do that.

Same as restaurants. Could you make food at home that's better than all but the finest restaurants? Yeah, probably. You pay for convenience. (Or, if you're at a sports bar, having many TVs or a large crowd of people with you to watch.)

So on this smaller scale, I'd agree that it's awfully strange to be angry with someone who took about 20 minutes (I'm guessing) to add everything up.[/quote]

A link to the standings is all that is necessary. This isn't journalism it is a forum. This isn't a news site, it is a forum. [/quote]
