Yes, you are right. I play here as a way of trining for OTB chess so, for instance, I never use the think mode.

I don't think at all:-)

| Normally Corr rating is higher than over the board simply because its different sport |
I agree. Take a look in my rating in some sites:
ICCF -> 2411 (69 games)
IECC -> 2326 (52 games)
IECG -> 2128 (63 games)
I never had an OTB rating! Years 80 and 90 I played a few tournament's games and my friends estimated my rating: 1800/1900.
Now I just play corr games, but it is a mystery yet: When I take it seriously I gain some points, but when I get drunk I lose some points.

So it relies on how you conduct the game play here. Some play real corr chess, spend time analysing lines fully, try to move pieces, use opening book, etc. Some like togoychess, play each move as a training position for OTB play development. Some playing just for fun and leave. Some use their superb positional knowledges and intuition only each move, which takes a split of sec, like CampbellMarcell.  Or some get help from chess program.  So rating point here may be less meaningful, don't get it so serious. We're playing differently.
