Stick wrote "One thing you may not like though is I refuse to have a proctor. I'll happily set up any sort of web cam configuration to record everything from head, shoulders, knees and toes but nobody is coming into my room and watch me play backgammon. That's just ridiculous"

Let me remind people what happened when Hank Youngerman produced a video of himself (with no proctor). People openly challenged that he could have had equipment out of range of the camera or engaged in some other technical foolery to make it appear it was all legite. Hank too refused to be proctored (it was suggested as an option). When hank refused to be proctored (or play OTB) it was used as more circumstantial evidence in the case against him.

*IF* people here believe Stick shouldn't have to be proctored when playing online, then I'd have to ask why Hank wasn't afforded the same courtesy.

On a side note, at present I have no reason to believe that Stick cheats, nor does it affect me anyway. I'm simply drawing attention to what happened previously in another situation, and how things were perceived.
