I didn't suggest that computers should be banned from GM tournaments. I merely
stated that if programs at some point prove to be too strong, allowing their
participation would be pointless. We haven't reached that point so far.
Furthermore, I stated that they don't belong in certain tournaments, ie.
national- and world championships. However, I find it somewhat tasteless to
compare banning computer programs with racism.

Best wishes...
