it's the internet and the anonymity plays a big part here. plus i don't think it's fair to say he's waiting for fish. after all, i usually can't identify fish until i've played a few hands with them.
my POV remains that if he asked, it's fine as some people just don't feel comfortable playing shorthanded. and i rather have him there so that when another 1/2 players join, we can get going with 4-5 players which usually means that the table will fill up pretty fast. i've seen tables where 2 players play heads-up and it takes awhile for others to join.
having said that i don't join tables with 1 player because i don't feel comfortable playing heads up and i'm too lazy to ask if it's alright for me to sit out.
