Not too many people at this site are dogmatic about anything. Divergent opinions are welcome and no one will ostracize or is that ostrich eyes you. Most of us have had a fair amount of life experience and those that haven't are just very smart. We have a lot of high average people and a little bit less of near genius or genius types. This whole group is part of a disorganized religion as I have said before. We have no secret agenda or any megalomaniacal urges for world domination. We are just a bunch of guys that either love chess programming or love to play against the programs. As Mogens has said "Life is everything and chess is just a diversion."
