I agree. Every single piece of information about everything you ever wanted to
know about, can be found somewhere on the net. Why not use some time finding it
yourself instead of asking someone? It's less productive but you learn as you go
along and the benefits are much greater.

Invaluable information, but just about anyone can do it. Not enough
experimentation to warrent a lot of attention, unless you own a copy of
Chessmaster that is.

Useless+useless=2*useless.

I think this sounds like an excellent idea. If you need any help just say the
word, otherwise feel free to use

There's no moderation whatsoever.
