In Response To: No Phones during a Match (Jason Lee)

I think it is a problem, and am all for a ban, the main reason being the cheating issue. If we allow earphones to be commonplace we open up - not only for cheating, but for cheating allegations. Say, Tom, Dick or Harry gets to the finals and decides to bring his iPod packed with Captain Beefheart to help concentrate. The match is recorded and it turns out he plays an unbelievable 0.9 PR - a far cry from his usual 8-ish. What should people believe?
