Personally, I don’t believe the scoreboard operator or his signature in the newspaper. I like to hear it straight from his mouth. Since a lowly peon like me has no such access, I ask my shailos and receive my psakim from my own Rav. I hear what he has to say, if there are any ambiguities I ask for clarification. Psak via newspaper, bulletin boards and other impersonal methods are for me nothing more than a springboard to ask my own Rav.
