The problem is that I don't want a huge number of games vs one single program, which is where the 4 game limit came from. Prior to automatic interfaces for commercial programs, it was rare to play 4 games in a row, but once automatic interfaces were developed, it became common. He was noplayed by my interface for playing well over 4 games in a row. Usually when this happens, the operator will say "sorry, I missed your notes, it won't happen again" and I remove them. In this case, I simply received more abuse about "hiding" which hardly encourages me to remove anything at all. > >You have a whole bunch of people who want to fight with you simultaneously.
