Hi: BTW, I wonder what "prouds" really means. It is not one of my favourite words. Tends to be a good, accepted, civil way of meaning "arrogance". Frankly it is difficult to me to find just one reason why a GM chess player or a writer or a poet or a musician should be proud of being good or even excellent in his craft. That's nothing. Just a matter of skill, dedication or any other secondary virtue. But of course is a human trait. You can see it even in the case of the most insignificant perfomances. There are also people "proud" of being of this or that origen. Or of being like they are. At last, another way of saying "I am special because I am such and such". I tend to agree with Mark Twain, who used to say this: "I never ask to nobody which is his national, religious, ethnic or professional origen; all are human beings and there is nothing worst than that..." OK, I should had posted this in the other place... fernando
