I'm not.

That's true to a certain extent. The problem is that there's a Ubisoft
representative present, which is being (mis)used to the extreme compared to
other software IMO. One thing is helping people get the most of their software.
Another is computer trivia, eg. "Which graphic cards are supported?", "The
strange disc doesn't fit in my floppy drive. What should I do?" or "Will a
Philips monitor increase the playing strength and is 17" enough (for chess)?". A
minimum of common sense should be a requirement before pressing "Submit".

I agree, but it isn't really a discussion most of the time.

So is mine of course.

Now we only need new CM personality "discussions". God forbid ;-).
