Actually, if I only wanted to play one-armed monkeys with rubber boots on, and
ICC had such a formula, I don't see the problem with doing so.  I don't see this
'obligation' to play everyone.  But as I said, any _human_ can easily ask me on
a server and I'll certainly let them play.  I do it all the time (check out
swisse on ICC).  But I don't want to play such games all day long, which is what
used to happen before I started using a formula.  100 wins against a 1500 player
is not exactly useful.
