Maybe for your Browser, but not for Netscape.

Oh no, I didn't imply engine/product favouritism at all. All your ratings, on
Netscape, are 6 digits.

Why are you bringing up which engine you favour?  I never said anything about
that.  Are you touchy about this?

what the "Herewith I dissociate expressly from all contents of all linked pages"
bit,  Now I'm confused about the "We" here & the "I" there.

I thought hard, no answer.  I still havn't thought you're unjustly promoting
brands.

The current appearence of your pages doesn't say "lot of money" to me.  You have
links to links, & your own personal chess lessons.  It's all just a bit white on
blue (except for the white on black bits).

If you Are spending a lot of money on this, I wonder why, and I wonder if it is
a waste of time & money.

Not for Netscape, the ratings page has 6 digit ratings.  You must create your
pages correct for the major browsers.

No, not at all. I'm happy & chirpy - taking time to look at your pages &
encourage you.

When I click on your News link, The only thing I see is Links to other sites
(TWIC, Gambitsoft, ClubKasparov etc) I do not see any News.

You asked for feedback & encouragement.
Mine was the only feedback you got!!! (say thankyou)

I didn't mean to ruffle your fur to the extent you have responded to.

I am afraid I am rather sceptical about the worth of your Chess Tutorials.
"Paste this into your chess engine and play white against your engine."

No, I don't like your method at all.  I could learn much better with a 1970
Chernev or Reinfeld Book.

Double the nothing you paid, or double the upgrade price I paid?
