I was just sort of joking about his post being brief, but I'd welcome input from Frans anytime, even if it wasn't about programming (which wouldn't do me much good anyhow). But I wouldn't blame anyone who's in the business of Chess programs for avoiding this place, there's just too many flame wars. It certainly makes sense to have an account and pay attention to what's going on here, you'd at least want to have someone from your company here, but it's like walking on hot coals around here sometimes.
