Fair enough, Uri. But A) I'm speaking primarily of my on-line chess experiences
and B) I don't live in Israel. ;-D

I do see the day fast approaching, however, when most postal organizations will
allow computer usage. I seriously doubt I'll still play postal chess when that
day comes, though. It takes a lot of the appeal away from it, IMHO, since I can
play a computer at home anytime I want (and save money on postage).
