I think that as a group we should be tolerant when someone wanders a little, while maintaining common sense when A tries to argue that B's mention of the weather where he lives, and C's response about the weather where *he* lives, means that A can start a thread on abortion. We should keep this as a computer chess forum, while remembering both to a) not lose our own humanity, and b) respect those who come here in order to get *away* from heavier topics. bruce
