When I first encountered WTF on another thread, I had no idea for what it stood. World Trade....?? Of course after reading THIS thread I'm well versed. The one thought that comes to mind, relevant or not, is that shouldn't BBO language be equivalent to a Zero Tolerance club requirement?

I lived in Saudi Arabia for two years, and solar power didn't work THERE.

I certainly respect Fred's decision, but I can only think how sad it is that there are cheaters on this wonderful site. Or, for that matter, in the bridge world at all. Call me naive, but I find it incomprehensible.

:P Or if all else fails, play online in undress of choice, with beer in hand. B)

Although I think I have a pretty fair idea, please elucidate. WHAT, pray tell, is a "goulash?" :huh:

Unable to update to version 4.2.8 as I get "The page cannot be found" on both update and full download. Please help ! I do have Windows XP.

I heartily agree with Elianna's first comment. The wait between rounds IS interminable !

Point well taken. Would rather not.

Oh my, finally a thread that I can't resist. Having spent 15 years playing in a non-sanctioned duplicate game, I have very few points. My first question is: How do you rate player ability? Do you consider the play, or merely the ranking? I play three club games a week, two of them with flight A partners. These men chose to play with me because a) I am a very good player and :( I'm fun. Is there some reason the two can't be combined? BECAUSE, if NOT, the game is dead. Rude, nasty, flight A players will be the cause. I have encountered them and will no longer play at the other club. Fortunately the club at which I play has both advanced/expert players and a true ZERO TOLERANCE. Please think about it. If the game is no longer enjoyable, it will die.
