Sam - it's nice to hear of someone who really does play with the
"spirit"
of the game rather than the letter of the rules, and if you opponents
are
happy with playing that way then stick with it with our [OFFICIAL]
blessings! :)
Unfortunately not all players work this way, which is why the rules are
written as they are - far too many will exploit any leeway to their own
advantage every time (just human nature I guess).
