I can't say that I'm ecstatic about Chessmaster settings or Chessmaster
tournaments, but it's clearly on-topic and you're not obligated to read them.
The Chessmaster threads are clearly marked and therefore easy to avoid if you're
not interested.

Occasionally, I find the discussions interesting and I'm quite sure that a lot
of Chessmaster owners, who only reads the CCC postings, find the settings
usable. If the postings can prolong the enjoyment of a piece of software, which
is purchased with hardearned money, then what's the problem? However, I do agree
that a few postings could have been e-mails instead. They're to few to complain
about IMHO.

I do make fun of the Chessmaster postings sometimes, but I do hope they
understand that it's not out of malice.

Best wishes...
Mogens
