Internet Backgammon

I am an internet backgammon addict, but I only play the version that comes with Windows. It is infuriating...correction, the other people who play are infuriating. I suppose that is what comes of playing anonymously. Here is a short list of the things that piss me off about people who play that game.

1. People who just quit (not resigning just bailing from the game) in the middle of the game. Hey, phones ring, people come to the door, the boss stops in your office, the tea kettle starts singing - lots of things can interrupt a game. But when people quit it is almost invariably immediately after you get two successive great rolls. Double sizes is the most common roll to be followed by the opponent quitting.
2. Chatty opponents. I had an opponent the other day who posted "nice roll" about 10 times in two games, but in my opinion, he was the one getting the opportunistic great rolls.
3. Annoying opponents. The most annoying was a guy who started out just being chatty, commenting on nearly every roll. I switched off chat. Then the opponent took to replaying hits - he would hit, then take it back, then hit again, over and over.
4. People who think they are playing chess. They take a really long time to move. My question is, if these people have ranked themselves "expert", what the hell is taking them so long to decide on each move?
5. "Experts" who aren't. Players self-rank, so anyone can call themselves an expert. I suspect some beginners have decided that the way to learn is to play experts, so they rank themselves an expert to get more games with experts. I don't mind playing beginners - its really fun sometimes to see how your typical moves and strategies work against people who have barely a clue what they (or you) are doing. But it is annoying to play a person who is a clear beginner who is calling himself an expert.

Annoying things about the MS version of the game:
1. The server routinely locks up. Every few games the server will just die on you.
2. I am not sure if this is an implementation of some arcane backgammon rule or not, but the MS game will not allow you to double sometimes. It is always toward the end of the game, but I can;t determine what the exact conditions are. The "double" button becomes disabled inexplicably.
3. Can't resign when you are on the bar and your opponent has a complete inner table. The game tells you that you have no moves and doesn't present the "roll" button, but it should let you click "resign".

I think I'll look for a game where you have to earn your skill level and where you aren't anonymous, so rude behavior is pinned to your name.
