puckish: I agree completely with wetware and alanback. Getting a bot's-eye view of a position only takes a few minutes, if that, so the longer someone takes the more likely they are to be having a personal ponder. I've sometimes visited and revisited a game several times over a few days (DailyGammon time controls permit this), each time deciding to defer the decision until it becomes clearer (or rather for me to become clearer, lol. It's amazing how one day's foolish "Yeah, I'll get the rolls" optimism becomes another day's "That would be madness!" rational thinking. )
