Hello,
Personally I would rather see a GM playing one of the top programs.  I think the
top programs have beat up enough IM's to prove they have a tough time with them.
 If programs are to prove they are GM strength they must beat GM's.  I think
another problem is the number of post now make any suggestions dissappear off
the screen too fast.  This makes it "Go away" before enough intersest is built
up.  I seldom go back past the first page anymore.  So if you want this to
happen you must continually kick it up.
