Whoa Larry -- look who's jumping to conclusions. It's entirely possible that player 1 TOLD player 2 that he/she uses a Franklin. I played someone a few months ago who was making astonishing plays and at about mid-game told me he was using an electronic dictionary and didn't know the off-the-wall word he played before he found it with the dictionary! I advised this person that using a dictionary was highly unethical and he told me that other players on the Zone had told him it was optional!!!!! I asked who told him this and he declined to respond. After the game this player immediately started bugging me to report, which I decided to do, WITH THE COMMENT THAT HE WAS USING A DICTIONARY. The player became irate and quit the ladder (BIG loss there). My point is, for all you know Player A may very well have told Player B that he uses an aid.....
