I thought I was doing a forum a good deed. but apparantly people like to read the off topic posts about someone's day of woe. In the future nobody should ever request me to take a post down about being "off topic" when they read a post that describe someone's day of woe with CCC and/or CTF. I am no longer deleting them. I will also no longer post any more "warnings" that deal with the unsavory internet world. I found her original post made on CCC on CTF - http://www.talkchess.com/forums/2/message.html?82699 Enjoy!
