Mélusine: I love the way you put things! That's why it's impossible to get mad at you. You make me smile. BTW, I think I've been behind that moral dilemma you speak of (more than once).

Here's another thought on having so many games that you time out. I know there are some players that jump in any tourney posted. Some tourneys have limited participants and when one joins, and then times out, they may as well not played at all. And they used up a slot someone else otherwise might have wanted. So for me, as a rule of thumb, if you are timing out in your games, play fewer games. Also, if you are committed to playing over 500 games, be sure you move many times a day out of courtesy to other players. One person dragging out a tourney is bad form and ought to be avoided.

But that's just me thinking out loud on the subject.
