Correct, It's a sick subject. It exists only in our imagination. It really
doesn't warrant so much thought anyway, for many reasons.
It was just like anything else. There was so much cheating to hypnotize people
into thinking that it is much better than todays PC programs.
I think Uri is comparing starting discussions about DB to starting discussions
about Bobby Fisher, which the moderators have been against!
