I explained the reason here. If you don't follow that, that is not my problem. 2. I haven't noplayed zarkov that I know about. I run an automatic interface part of the time that _will_ +noplay a computer that plays more than 4 games, but in the case of Zarkov (run by Max or John) they always let me know when this happens and it is fixed the next day. So where do you get your information that I noplayed him when he was 2700? 3. I don't do what I want, when I want, because I am an "old man". I do so because it is my perogative. I don't own you a thing. I generally pay my 'debts' when they exist, but here none does. I want to play a variety of players, not one computer program. I _insist_ on playing a variety of players, not one computer program. I take action to make this happen. And I don't think I need either your permission, nor your approval, to do so...
