This is really a pity. It could play against Chrilly's cat
otherwise....:-))

:-)))) Very good. My visitors always react with strange faces when I
tell you that I don't like computers and that i prefare to use the pen
and talk with people in real. Contradictions seem to be very difficult
to understand for some people...

Brilliant ! I hope my question did not offended you than.

talking german, they have a nice slang... :-)))

Really. I would deny the first and also the last. What is so narrow in
my thinking ?

The fact that you remembered an article that was published 250 times in
germany in the year 1992 ? My mistake was that I forgot the
MODUL/PC-SCHACH quoted out of it, so it was more than 250 times. Sorry.
I forgot about this quoting.

If so you should send the moderators a complain. Thanks.
