Pardon me while I wake up. :)  I assume then that Darooha & Company has ignored
the issue, or that it cannot be easily addressed.  Which is it?  In any case, it
means that serious online play at ICC is compromised, and it follows that all
CCT tourneys are suspect, as well as ICC regular tourneys, other events, and
their rating system in general.

That's not a yawn.
