So morality resides in the opening book ? We have politically correct
opening books now ? Presumably ECO only is politically correct and
additions to the book bring in active/passive/cooking/long
lines/autoplayer/cptr-cptr and these introduce political incorrectness ?

Data with politics. Shall we submit our opening books to the
Czub-committee in future for acceptance or rejection ? You can make a
whole new email group with politically acceptable members for
pre-determination of the outcome ......
