For the longest, the biggest problem I had on the servers was folks setting up crafty clones, then playing me, something I have no interest in seeing whatsoever. As a result, I would end up with 300 logs of crafty vs crafty and no GM games at all. I finally sent Tim Mann some xboard/winboard patches that would recognize when it was playing crafty vs crafty and auto- matically abort and noplay the opponent. In the case of Tiger, I don't want to noplay it, because the games are often interesting, just so there aren't too many of them, displacing human players. I could easily fix xboard to noplay any tiger clone, but I don't want to avoid tiger totally. I just don't want to play _only_ tiger on ICC, since it is apparently easy to set up to run there, just like winboard/xboard/crafty is. I do find it interesting that people think that I am obligated to play anybody or anything that wants to play me. Humans don't do that on the servers, why is my program obligated to do so?
