Mike, the original post concerned both computers and chess, so it was definitely
on topic.

On the other hand, I don't know who is being accused of cheating, but I'm sure
it will raise questions in the mind of forum users, so I personally find the
phrase "one of the cheats was a long standing member of this very group"
inappropriate.
