In Response To: It's about time to change these rules (Taper_Mike)

I've always been in favor of clocks but not in favor of fast time controls. I certainly don't like the way Phil and others are conflating what I regard as legitimate reasons for insisting on clocks with far more questionable arguments for fast time controls. I would find fast time controls even more of a deterrent from participating in a tournament than no clocks at all.
