Nah... Just not a loudmouth that has nothing better to do than complain like
you.  A couple of points:

1) I have _no_ obligation to play you.  So if I _wanted_ to noplay you, I don't
see where you have _any_ room to complain.  I wrote my program.  I operate my
accounts.  If I don't want to play you, I'm simply not going to play you.

2) I don't challenge other computers, _ever_.  If they want to play me, that
is fine, so long as they pay attention to my finger notes.  If they don't, they
may well get noplayed.  Again, these are _my_ accounts on the chess servers,
and I will run them as I choose.

3) Since you didn't respond to my question about your handle and server, I can
only assume that you are just wanting to "make noise"

Go right ahead.  And then buzz off.

Just so you get the point, I'll make a couple of posts with _your_ name at
the top, later.  I assume you won't mind.
