I would agree with this 100% no topic relating to computer chess should be
taboo, because it may make someone feel uncomfortable. Infact discussing
possible flaws in programs will keep everyone , specifically the programmers
honest! I would like to put Ed Schroeder on my list of honest programmers with a
sense of intergrity, who has done he can to answer the questions of those who
support his program. I also think that it is great and one of the special
aspects of CCC that I like is that programmers make themselves accessible to the
public. I consider this great service Par Excellence!!
