One thing is for certain in this forum, if you take the time to run your own tourneys or tests, and then take the time to post your results here at this forum for everyones benefit, it is certain that someone will ridicule your efforts, and many times many more than one person. This is a public forum and is not RUN by a certain few who think their opinion is actual fact. I know as someone who has posted here a number of times in the last year (that is the length of my experience with this forum)that this can be an extraordinarily unfriendly place, and a definite deterrent to any new posters. I read this everyday and I can't believe the rude, arrogant answers and comments which unfortunately are commonplace. I believe that is why you see the same names time after time and very rarely see any new posts from new people that last for any length of time. The goal here is apparently to railroad everyone out of "Dodge". This is the sad part of computer chess, although it is one of my hobbies, it sickens me to see the fragile egos of so many speaking so loudly that newcomers will surely find a friendlier place to discuss computer chess. I am glad that my interest is the same as those that frequent this place,but I am equally glad that my personality is not the same as the ruthless, arrogant bastards that blow everyone off this board. This forum will always be the "Little Club" it is for there is no foresight about how to grow this into something as large and wonderful as this could be. I have a new word for those who like to blast all off the board, it is.......FRIENDLY. You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Learn a lesson. Paul
