I always send an empty message from work when I don't mean to - sorry!

The new webtv addresses are actually a nightmare, allowing webbies to play as many times as they want, or so it looks like to me. They don't maintain the same address from game to game, so they can play in one game, go to another, play there, then go back to the last one -- at least, every other webbie except me & Bad Penny (for some reason, our web address is the same one and it never changes).

My point is not that I can't make two words in a row, but that webbies now can make more than one play at a time. Is there any way to stop it? Am I being paranoid?

I'm currently watching the anonymous webTV addresses end current games, start new ones (with bonehead starts), and then suddenly end THAT game and start a new one again. Game 14 has had 3 new beginning words in the past 5 mins. However, I can't find any of those games in the archives yet.

5 new games running now. i started each of them (screwed up one myself typing h7 not h8 - &%$#Q!), so I'll wait and see if those disappear too. :(
