Like many halls ours is associated with a religious organisation. Apparently they do not need the Internet to communicate with their god.

And you never felt the urge to inform them how they can increase their band width?

Both our main venues here are synagogues, both have their own wifi, and both are kind enough to let us use it. :ph34r:

Apparently Roman Catholics do, since the Pope got a Twitter account a few months ago.

How do players discuss the results at the end of the evening, if the results have not been published yet?


Is it really so important to discuss results? Recently I went to a very small club, where the travellers are taken home by someone and entered into a computer. So there were no results, but a large group of us were content to discuss the best actions for the various hands, rather than the actions that would have happened to score well on the night.

Precisely. Hand records, beer and the results become increasingly irrelevant.
