Subject: Handicap games on Tokyo Dojo

Has anyone else tried this?  Lately, I've been
logging on to Tokyo Dojo and challening Dan level
players to handicap games.  As long as it's
a "free" game they're perfectly willing to play
(though there is sometimes a long pause before
the first move, as if my opponent is startled to
see some of his pieces missing!).  Is this OK to
do or am I committing some oafish breach of
etiquette?
