I didn't miss his question, as we had already talked via email.  But several
seem to think that my policy of not wanting to play unlimited matches vs
computers is wrong.  Ditto for my formula restricting the kind of blitz games
I play.  etc.

IE right now, I am wearing a pair of Lee jeans.  If someone doesn't like that,
tough.  They are free to wear what they want, I am free to do the same.  This
is getting overlooked for reasons I don't understand.

Several computers on ICC say "no craftys please."  Doesn't aggravate me at all,
doesn't insult me, doesn't make me mad, doesn't make me want to query them in
public to find out why.  They just said "Don't pee on my front lawn."  I don't
know (or care) why.  I just won't do it.

IE this would be in the same neighborhood as my telling Ed "Hey Ed, I know you
are autotesting all the time.  I insist that you autotest against Crafty and
send me the games."  I don't see why I could tell him who to play against. It
_is_ his program he is testing.  Same for me...
