In Response To: Apologies to Clock Aficionados (David)

After witnessing my time scramble in Cleveland (I had only 24 seconds left when the last game started), Howard Markowitz, Tournament Director extraordinaire, told me the sight of someone flinging around the dice and checkers with no thought whatsoever was so repulsive to him that it turned him off to using chessclocks.

I wonder if Howard Markowitz ever gets repulsed by five hour long 15 point matches or he said/she said disputes over what that last roll was or protracted arguments over whether Joe Bob rolled prematurely.
