Actually, I find the Chessmaster discussions interesting because I have owned several versions of the program, even though I don't always comment on them. I think each person has his own tastes on what is interesting, just because a topic is not interesting to you does not mean it should be banned. As far as taking things private, that could be said for a number of different topics, then you wouldn't have a message board if you did that for all these other topics. My two cents. Mark
