"Maybe I'm just spoiled by online play."

You've only played on-line, so that's natural. We old-timers who grew up with B&M play and who haven't played on-line at all, are the opposite.

The difference might come down to this: other day I saw a guy sitting on a step, hunched over, apparently engrossed in something. Coming up on him from behind, I assumed he was reading. When I passed him, I saw he was playing a video game. I would imagine had our situations been reversed, he would have assumed I was playing a video game. But I would have been reading.

FWIW, I see Bobby Hoff playing on-line on his laptop while he's waiting for a B&M seat.
