That isn't possible.

And that is your opinion. There are no _flaws_ there are points

Ok tony then I won't send them.

I can stand critiscism when it is fai and impartial. Sadly that isn't the
case. And I can speculate on anything I choose, you don't like it......
too bad. And I speculated on results not on posted games so let's at

Good, then I shall send an email to ICD requesting your IP and
any other names associated with it, quoting this post. Requesting
at the same time a note on any other names associated with mine.
Assuming they reply I will post the reply here.
