: Quite frankly, "we" (the players who formerly played frequently at this site and now play predominantly elsewhere) left this site because of the blatant dishonesty AND the vicious, vitriolic exchanges that constitute the majority of forum communiques. Who needs the headaches?

: Also, for whatever reason, many of the players here feel that they absolutely must use every second on their clocks, while others of us play much faster. For a faster player, there are other sites where one can set the amount of time for a particular game and, for me at least, playing at those sites is much more fun. You don't have to concern yourself with cheaters as much when you play 10 minute games; they don't have time to go input their racks into search engines and come back and make plays! Just MHO. Helen

Helen, where are you playing that they are fast? Please tell me, email me if you rather. I had tried v1 but that seeing your leave business left me cold, I didn't play my usual game. I don't want to go to netscrabble sites that they take a week or a month for one lousey game. That's like email scrabble and sucks the big one. Those players admit to using aids, that is part of it, I think more like a debating club than real scrabble and I got this game hoping for close-to-a-real life gameplay.

I am fast. Not as fast as you but I can play ten minute games no problem. Let me know.

Please. Thanks.
