I wondered about anonowebbie, but if I vote 2x in a row to quit, I get the message I've already voted, so it counts each webtv'er as the same player and I think a non-webtv'er would also have to vote to quit.  

I know I often vote to quit if I see an 8 ltr word played that did not use a premium ltr, or if the score of the 8-ltr word is under 200 points -- why the heck play that in an expert game? We do plenty of that upstairs. : )

After much thought, if I had to take my very best guess, I would have to agree with Mike..that the problem was a troll purposely ending the game to make people angry. This could very well be why I didn't notice the lock when I was looking at the game under "see".  The troll could have went in quickly and ended the game without even taking time to think of a word. Especially since the words I saw that were there were very good words, and I highly doubt an expert would end the game because of them.  You all are very good and I never see bad plays from any of you.  If the experts argue amongst themselves though, then the troll was successful in his/her attempt to make people angry and cause trouble.  I would just chalk it up to a problem player/troll.
