I'm with Voltaire on this one. > >anthony anyone who is with voltaire is fine with me! at least those who recognize that 'il faut cultiver son jardin', which probably won't be many in CTF ;-) the word "extremist" is probably used in a different sense today than back in voltaire's time. it definitely has a negative ring to it these days. but what i really wanted to say is of course that i don't care whether a person has written no chess program, a weak chess program, or a strong chess program - except when the person is talking about chess programming! and since by definition CTF is a complement to CCC, i don't care any more for omid's opinion there than for that of anyone else (if i ever visited CTF, that is); quite regardless of the fact that his program would beat the shit out of mine. cheers martin
