Note that this post was by Jerome, _not_ Jeroen, and the reply was by me: Jerome's message: "I own a 2000 Jaguar XJ8 VDP and extremely satified with it. No problems in nearly five months and over 5000 miles. I am planning to buy a 2000 "S" type (second car) and am responding to the offer to set up a separate "S" type forum at this location. I look forward to all comments pro and con. Your reply: You're better off with a Chevy with a small block V8. 5000 miles is nothing, tell us how you like it when you have 90,000 miles on it." So I don't see a problem with that being removed. I thought it was pretty funny because removing it was more effort than it was probably worth, but it does violate the terms in the Charter. And I've already voiced my opinion about the subjects that _can_ be connected to computer Chess. Pete
