I'm sure it was.

I must have worded my original posts too harshly. I will not delete questions
that are addressed directly to Hyatt (or anybody else). I don't consider this
sort of behavior inappropriate. I just suggest that the questions be sent via
e-mail.

Here are some post subjects that I wouldn't have a problem with at all:

"Christophe, what will be new in the next Rebel-Tiger?"
"Bob, when will the next version of Crafty be released?"

Here are some post subjects that I don't care for at all:

"Bob, what are hash tables?"
"Bob, how do you do null move?"

I hope that clears things up.
