grenv: The reason to finish a jigsaw is to look at the picture I assume, perhaps show to others?

No, the purpose is merely to discover the position of the pieces. The finished article doesn't matter at all. It's meaningless and therefore pointless to waste time putting the last few pieces in place. If you want to see the picture then look at the box. it doesn't have all those quiggly lines on it for a start!

Anyway this is clearly an aesthetic endeavor, whereas a game of backgammon is a contest.

Ah, I see. So there's no possiblity that someone else could find backgammon to be anything other than a contest which has a rigidly defined ending point?

Admit it, grenv, this is your way and not the only way. What do you gain by refusing to see other people as individuals not from your mould?</i>

When someone is playing a rated game, yes that is correct!

That's from my profile, for those that don't know. You've quoted it out of context, Anders, which is quite inconsiderate of you.

The full quote is: I consider it rude if I don't know you and you invite me to a match yet say nothing in the invitation. I will ignore it until you take it away. ...... Even with a friendly greeting, I am very unlikely to accept Backgammon invitations.

And, people being people, some will take it personally and be offended, even though it expresses my general preference for not playing Backgammon.

Also from my profile: Check out the Play Bunny of the Month for May 1999. Isn't she a cutey? :-D

People being people, some will take personal offense to that.

Anders, your point is...?

No point..i just asked you if you think its rude to not accept a friendly game invitation since the invitor obviously has a wish to play a game against you.

playBunny: I don't think you're saying anything meaningful here. Yes, this is my way.. I resign in a lost position. I never said others had to do the same.

On the contrary you are saying that others might be offended at my actions and request that I play out the game. Wouldn't this be a case of them asking me to do it their way, not the other way around?

Since you're smart enough to realize this, you must in fact be joking and/or enjoying a silly argument.
