Same here in Germany, and i feel quit unconfortable with methods like this!!!

With this point I have to agree if I would disturb a PLAYING HUMAN. If this
would happen my kibitz would be extreamly unpolite and of course worth a
rebuke!!!!!!! I have to think about your argument. For now nobody of the guys i
wrote a message complains about it (in cotrary: one of them tried it hours later
again :-)  ) but sometimes i will offend a wrong one. If that was your point you
are right!

Bye
