  Is WGT ever planning to thrust more integrity to players here?  There seems to be an inordinate amount of quitting lately.

  This past match - some "legend" (couldn't tell from his play) decides to...disconnect after being 3 down and watching me drop my approach 3 feet from the pin on Congressional.  Needless to say, 150 seconds of my life was then wasted.

  I'm noticing a huge increase in the number of poor sports recently.  A way to curb it would be nice.

  Of course, quitting - unless in emergencies - may be respectless against the co-players, but is integrity a legal requirement? Is quitting illicit?

  OTOH, how does punishment of customers fit to a business? They will be very reluctant to do so, only in important subjects like the current one.

  Playing with friends or in a CC bears less risk of quitters.

  Nuking 'em is a tad harsh, how about this? -

  Took me a few seconds to realize that wasn't a Klan pic.
