I'm sure we both look like the troll in the other's viewpoint. I may have been a bit harsh on your original answer, but I've been a member of tons of communities (both RL and internet), from Chess to Football to Hockey to Programmers, and I gotta say, Chess groups have the largest percentage of rude and obnoxious people I have ever met (and poor sports, to boot). (Not everyone, just a ratio thing, there's plenty of helpful people here). People in newsgroups get slammed for simple questions, and it's a shame. So this is the hockey goon in me: if you check my goalie, I'm gonna come after you. And I would do it again. You think your original answer of "yes" was helpful? Fine, we'll agree to disagree. I thought it was just an internet thing (obvious reasons, people can get away with it), but I've experienced the same thing at tournaments and clubs.
