Ruling question, string bet or no?

It seems lame and ripe for angle shooting. Can anyone explain why it wouldn't be?

Until very recently NL was played by more experienced players and the pace of the game was much slower (I only play online these days, so I can't tell you much about the pace of the NL games that have been popping up). In NL a player sometimes wants to put in so many chips that he needs to return to his stack. Normally NL players sit and wait until the the player in front of them is finished.
