(...) From the Arbitrator's point of view, it tracks the how long each turn takes, but takes no actions based on that time. So we must watch turn time manually. Personally, if you go over the three minutes by a few seconds, I don't have a problem (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
