Somehow I think that's more to do with actual talent. And if I may be as bold as
to suggest that Christophe have been more active in promoting his program rather
than sharing ideas IIRC. Nothing wrong with that, since it's his livelihood. But
most of the programmers starting out wouldn't notice if he stopped posting
altogether IMHO.

If he's just an active reader then I would agree. However, I doubt that actual
participation would be terribly beneficial. It would be naive to assume that his
policy would differ from Theron's and Chessbase does the advertising quite well
as it is. The troublemakers would probably also emerge from the woodwork.
