No, Bernhard, that's not what ICD's CCC was for.  It was established as a place
where the members could ZAP each other at every opportunity.  Computer chess is
just a convenient excuse.

I advocate giving everybody the benefit of the doubt. None of us are perfect.
We should all make allowances for each other and patiently allow others to
stumble occasionally, as we all do.  IMHO.
