Walter Montego: You keep saying "it's not auto-pass -- it stays your turn". Does that mean your clock doesn't stop, until you've opened up your home board -- because "it is still your turn"?

I rather have an auto-pass (or whatever you'd like to define it) in the beginning. That is, if I have lost the roll, I don't see the point in having to have to push the 'pass' button. I find it annoying enough to be tempted to write a bot that makes the passes for me.
