Hi Sarah,
I've had a brief look in the Search Engine to answer another post, & KK was
referring, in Dec '98, to the lack of computer analysis while playing
person-person (or reviewing a game) in CM6k.  I think he was playing "Devils
Advocate" rather than actually deriding CM6k, but that went over the heads of
his combattants.

If that debate helped lead to the analysis features of CM8k then it was a good
thing.

I was simply being facitious (sp?), imitating the methods of the Kiddies who
fought so hard to defend their favourite chess toy.

Agreed

I have generally found that being Canadian is a Good thing.  I particularly like
some of the Canadian Television Comedy  eg.  The News (name?), Trailer Park
Boys, Terence & Phillip, ....

Cheers,
Tina
