Reading magazines etc. while playing.

I think you must differentiate between an I-pod and reading matter at the table.

Listening to music need not affect your concentration on the game,
and I don't feel that that is at all rude or disdainful.

Reading a book or magazine is in effect ignoring the game and all those who are playing,
suggesting to me a complete disregard for one's fellow players, as well as a liklihood of slowing the game down.

PS Tikay did they find the J4o secreted in your book ?

Yeah, but don't tell Brian, he thinks it was JJ......
