In Response To: Clocks and Penalties (johnk)

...Without a clock I’ve never had a time problem...

I hear similar comments occasionally when I break out my clock (in clock's-on-request by either player) events. Usually the mild complaint is something like:

I'm a fast player; I don't need a clock.

My (honest) reply:

I'm a slow player, so I do.
