What I said in my posting, Nigel, was that local regulations are a pain
in the backside when online players incorrectly assume that their own
local regulations apply online. Not "the last straw", which implies
that some (drastic) action results from it, just a damn nuisance. 

The rest of what you imply is "my experience" is purely your own view,
and you have no justification whatever for suggesting that I share it.
I certainly can't remember being on the receiving end of a single
ruling that I found "incomprehensible". I've disagreed with a few of
them, sure, but I understood what the ruling was and why, even if I
thought the reasoning was wrong.

I also try hard not to put views in the mouths of others, and *I*
certainly wouldn't claim to speak for "Players" in general. 


Brian.
