I complained about one of these posts recently, it may have been the "God" post, and I also complained about the Fischer stuff. I don't remember what happened with the Fischer stuff, but I think the "God" stuff was handled well. I'd be in favor of deleting any "Does anyone know what Bobby Fischer is up to?" or "Who is the best player of all time?" posts on sight, those are incredibly common trolls. bruce
