Time for my A-hole entry:
First, I'd like to start by wishing Kat a belated happy birthday (never saw the original thread), and to hope for her speedy recovery. Having said that...
These 2 threads have increased my DNP list tenfold. I consider this a quasi-cheat, and I don't play cheats. I find it both ironic and disgusting that golf, a sport that's highly cerebral, can now be "mastered" by dolts, dimwits, and doofs who can just punch numbers into a tiny box and have a computer tell them what to do.
I have too much integrity to ever use one of these things - and if I lose, I lose with the knowledge that I didn't play good enough. There's zero honor in up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B-A-starting your way to a win.
If your math and basic problem solving skills suck so badly that you need something like this to compete, you're just plain pathetic. Period.
Have a nice day.
