If you don't seem to like it here, there is _nothing_ >stopping you from reading and posting elsewhere. I do not see a reason to post elsewhere when other people post here. Other people post about rybka and I think that it is the main reason that people in this forum knows about rybka and interested in it. If you do not like it because you think that it is advertisement then simply warn them that you are going to ban them from this message board and they will find another place to discuss about it.(I have no problem not to mention the word rybka or word of another commercial program if you do not like it) I do not have a problem to follow the rules of this message board. I do not have a problem even with rules that do not allow me to post nothing about commercial programs including not posting results of the ssdf and not posting results of tournaments because commercial programs participate and it can be considered as an advertisement. I have problems with unclear rules that allow you to attacks the best programmers because you think that they do advertisement when there is no clear definition and examples to explain what is the meaning of advertisement. Personal attacks against the programmers of the best programs does not seem to me the way to go and I do not believe that vasik earns customers because of the fact that he posts here(for example CEGT results are more convincing argument for people to buy rybka). If somebody did a mistake by not following the rules it may be a reason to warn him but I do not see it as a reason to never buy his program. Movei will probably never be commercial but if it does I guess that I will post nothing about it in this forum because as far as I see posting in this forum does not bring a single customer and only cause people like you to make personal attack against the programmers and claim that they will never buy the program. In that case if people ask questions about it in this forum I will simply reply them not in this forum. Uri
