I just had the wrong feeling of this post. I thought they were flaming GM Ashley for reasons of the color of his skin. He's a GM, and can be mighty proud of that! Why would anyone flame a GrandMaster period? Ok I misunderstood, and typed before I had the full meaning of the post. Hey, I screwed up eh? Well my friend, they say, "to err is human, to forgive devine!" Forgive me buddy -- thanks, take care, have a great day! Eddie
