Go up one level in this thread


if this place is 'going to the dogs' because someone disagrees with you, Terry,
then I expect you to get on all fours and play with them!
I have been a member of the CCC since its subscription newsprint days.
And I seem to recall that the first time I asked persons here for help in an
unofficial capacity regarding a chessbase problem, someone strongly resembling
you, who did not know the answer, acused me of being a 'pirate' and told me to
go to hell. So I do not think conditions have gotten any worse.
I only wish the beer in Canada was even stronger because a few more drunken
canadian typists might quiet this board down a bit.
cheers,
marc
