Yes . This was exactly the message arriving here ; and I am happy exactly the
message I wanted to send got through too :-9

Every online community has some rules or expected behaviour which is not obvious
at first sight and I just wanted to inform you to keep away unnecessary trouble
from you .

Your idea for your zippy hack lacks dealing with a basic winboard feature still
though ; winboard engines accept every challenge meeting formula on ICS ; so no
chance declining rematch without noplaying or censoring ( or temprorary
disconnecting ) : _this_ is probably the reason why you should avoid it .

The more complicated matching someone when idle by doing some zippy hack is much
less offending probably ( you can even limit number of times you try on someone
) but the rematch leaves the opponent without defence against your challenge .

kind regards .
