Only vaguely relevant to your comment, but I reported 3 pairs to the ACBL recorder for cheating during the time when online games were thriving on BBO based on data from Nicolas Hammond's computer software. All 3 pairs were outrageously blatant about their cheating. This was around 3 years ago.

One of the 3 pairs was recently suspended by the ACBL, but I'm pretty sure my recorder reports had little to do with that and that EDGAR was the basis for their punishment. I've seen nothing about the other 2 pairs. With Covid and the average high ages of ACBL members, I suppose they could have died, but more likely EDGAR hasn't got around to analyzing their results. All 3 pairs could have, and should have been suspended 3 years ago, but I'll take a partial win that one pair was caught and penalized.

Love the pic of Kili. My husband and I also "summited" Kili about 18 years ago. It was great fun. We did Shira Plateau route and truly enjoyed the experience, followed by a relaxing week on safari.

We preceded with 3 weeks of safari & a climb of Mt. Meru.

This is the key point

I hear so much discussion about the poor confused old people who didn't understand that their decisions degraded the game for everyone else

Nail their hides to the wall!

FWIW, the punishments that are being handed down are a slap on the wrist


Really? A slap on the wrist? Especially if you were never notified and never given an opportunity? YOU may not care, but being 80+ and banned for a year is NOT a slap on the wrist. Wait till YOU, if you're lucky, get there.
