Also it has been discussed numerous times. The thing to remember is that your opponent may very well blunder as bad as you did. Best to wait and see how bad they reply, or if they miss the blunder before giving up all hope.
Never underestimate your opponents ability to screw up worse then you.

Ah, I did not know it was against USCF rules to resign on the opponents move. Thank you for the heads-up!

This has been discussed a number of times before, and it seems to be an enhancement which would nobody has any arguement against.

Here's what the USCF director has to say:
"Colleen Dunne, chesskinetics@cqservices.com:
Hi, Frank!
The player has the right to resign any time he wants to during a game of chess, no matter whose move it is. However, checkmate (and resignation) ends the game.
Pax, Alex Dunne
USCF CC Director"
Hope that clears up any question on the need to have the option to resign on the opponents move.
