Nice post. I used to take this much time to express my views....

There is another thing I'm murky about and would like clarified: did a 15-point match in Las Vegas which was clocked from its start using 12 sec delay per move and 30 minutes reserve per player actually take 5 hours to complete (not counting dinner breaks or other unusual circumstances)?
