There're are a few idots out there. The rant thread is full of stories about them. I can't say I've been randomly paired with more than 10 or 15 people that were total asses in 40 years of playing. Like you, I'm social, and usually have fun with whomever. There are some who don't want a lot of back and forth, yet are still pleasant, and that can usually be figured out early the round. That's okay, too. With jerks you just play out your round and move on. I figure people like that are probably miserable for most of their lives. Kevin
