In Response To: Phones & BG (Jason Lee)

Independent of the cheating possibilities, using a cellphone during a match (particularly a non-clocked match, but even a clocked one) is, IMO, simply rude. When you sit down to play backgammon, is it too much to ask that you simply play backgammon?

Let the phone ring (in vibrate mode) through to the end and let the person calling leave a message. Take your five minute break and listen to the message and/or call that person back. How hard is that?
