I am not sure what you are talking about here. I haven't been on chess.net in several days. Unless you are saying this happened a while back. My chess partner Bert sometimes logs on there using my account, to check on Crafty if it has disappeared from ICC due to a server crash. I will attempt to contact Bert to see what happened. He isn't always careful in his analysis and once got GM Roman quite irate as he branded him as a "computer" and sent him a message complaining about this. It turns out he had looked at the _wrong_ game. I will certainly fix it. One thing about "manners" if you want to get along with _me_. This is a topic for private email. I don't particularly like to see this kind of nonsense posted in a public place without first contacting me to see what might have happened. You have just earned a place on my S-list, where you will remain for quite a while. In the future, I suggest you behave a little more maturely and contact me (or the person you have a problem with) personally, rather than writing it on the bathroom wall. Unless you simply want to cause a problem, of course. You will notice that Bert apparently sent you a private email or message, telling you what he had done. A private response would have been the appropriate way to handle this...
