hahhaha - LOVE THIS POST! Thanks! 
Personally, it drives me crazy when we're having a good game and then I take an opponent's Queen and they almost immediately quit. Some of my best wins have been when I've been without my Queen and my opponent has one. Some of my worst losses have been when I've taken opponent's Queen and they turn the game and beat me. Besides, ya know, they might just get a new Queen if they manage to get a Pawn to the end of my board, which happens too. IMO, resigning is quitting.
Hi Folks...

So now I know why people resign after they lose their queen...
At low levels, where I play at, losing a queen can sometimes work in your favour as the opponent can (and it's happened to me) take his/her eye of the board...I've won many games having lost/blundered my queen.
I am certain this does not happen at higher levels of play ;-)

Does it wind anyone else up when you trap your opponents queen/take her, then your opponent resigns?
Grrrr....i hate it when people do that!!
(perhaps these types of players have an emotional attachment to their queen)
Powerful she may be, but the King holds infinite power...
I resign if i lose the queen for less than a rook, so anything -/+5 (for opponent)with no big attack is just resignable, anybody under 1000 shouldnt though, even under 1200, once did this experiment against an 1100 and he lost it right back, but for 0 compensation, i got a bishop for my queen, which is how i eventually won.
