After all, what do they have to do with their time except figure out ways to torment actual humans who try to use the computer?KM Rockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973749764907859829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-26877720073309561772014-08-15T13:30:30.645-04:002014-08-15T13:30:30.645-04:00I've never played bridge or any online game.

I enjoy the camaraderie, laughter and yes even the griping and grumbling when things don't go the way I want them to. Ir'a much more fun to gloat when I win with others there to listen to me.

I haven't had the same issues you have when I've played against the computer -- not that I've done that for some time.<br /><br />The two Germans (both medical doctors -- one wonders about their medical practices as well) were banned for playing in any World Bridge Federation tournament with each other for life and from from any participation for 10 years.<br /><br />There is to be a separate hearing to strip them of their world title (which they won against the Americans who caught them cheating and agreed to play even though they knew the Germans were cheating in order for officials to record the Germans in action.)<br /><br />I'm at a Sectional tournament in Marquette, MI right now. Yesterday we took first overall in the first game and slipped up in the second for a less robust showing! 8 more sessions of bridge on Fri, Sat & Sun. However -- wearing our jammies would be frowned upon. :)<br /><br />~ JimJim Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090252530437277145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-52687902470521793272014-08-15T05:25:16.399-04:002014-08-15T05:25:16.399-04:00Sounds like torture to me, Warren.
