I was trying to be nice to Ronald who asked a very fair question.  At the time
of my reply the only "advice" Ronald had recieved after 13.5 hours was:

"I would not recommend this, although it's done often. My experience is, that
all those watching and testing is 70% waste of time... better to play, or
analyse master games etc...

Regards,
M.Scheidl"

I replied that there is another popular viewpoint, and that it would surely turn
up, and how I thought he could get it if it didn't arrive.

Surely your comment is better directed at the Mike S post.

No big thing, unless Ronald was left thinking playing chess on the internet with
a chess program is a waste of time.

Cheers,
Tina Long
