Trout, take it easy, man!
I know it’s VERY annoying , it happens to me too and also to other players as well. And as far as I know it happened only once to you, with Trout.
I even remember the case when it happened to your opponent once, while you were losing big time ! (Chinese guy).
It might be anything : java glitch , hackers attack (port suddenly closed), etc. Server ?... well, could be the server, but not certainly on purpose for you to stop playing/winning .
So I would agree with Mark on matter to move one . You are welcome here from time to time to take/give lessons of good curling.
VJ, Talent, erjk , swissgirl, and other guys – come back occasionally, at least .
