Go up one level in this thread



i am not sure what makes a thread go away. i do not see my role as a censor.
the simplest form of censorship is ignoring something anyway.
I also see the poster as a very legitimate person who needed a question answered
simply. And since it is a question about technology and chess-- programming a
clock-- a clock which is sold by the vendor who sponsors our board-- a clock I
own-- I gladly answered him.
the only annoyance came not from him-- he could use my answer. I recieved rhet.
crit. because my answer did not offer a surfeit of information untll it was
asked for-- by someone who does not own the clock with the mode he recommends
others use.
